Comment Kill dogs, why not people??? (Score 4, Interesting) 179

by jddeluxe (#49314211) Attached to: WHO Report Links Weed Killer Ingredient To Cancer Risk
I had an Australian Shepherd that had to be put down due to getting eaten by lymph cancer at a relatively young age. After doing some research I'm fairly certain that it was due to my ex spraying copious amounts of Roundup over pavers on which the dog liked to lay/sun on to keep grass from growing from the spaces in between the pavers.

After talking to a couple of vets and researching on the intertubez there appears to be more than a casual connection between canine cancers and liberal use of the product in areas in which they live and play.

If you have pets or children DO NOT spray this poison in their play areas!

If you're that OCD about a few weeds, pluck them rather than turning your yard into a toxic dump...

Submission + - How deep does the multiverse go?

But what lies beyond it? Sure, there's probably more Universe just like ours that's unobservable, but what about the multiverse? Finally, a treatment that delineates the difference between the ideas that are thrown around and explains what's accepted as valid, what's treated as speculative, and what's completely unrelated to anything that could conceivably ever be observed from within our Universe.
