Butterfly scandal?

[rudy benavides]

For anyone interested in a chronology of the happenings in Michoacan, 
Monarch Watch - at http://www.MonarchWatch.org - is maintaining reports on 
their website under *Overwintering Monarchs Killed*.

For the sake of accuracy, the reported winds were 100 kilometers per hour.  
This translates roughly to about 60+ miles per hour, and not quite at 
hurricane force.

There are references to "They" in previous Leps-l posts.  The reports seem 
to have been originated by the campesinos (ejiditarios)who live in the area 
and were made public by the Mexican environmental group.  Perhaps this whole 
story is not all in yet.  I do hope they were wrong on the alleged pesticide 
poaching.
