Because DDT became a bogeyman after the incredibly inaccurate "Silent Spring" demonized the chemical into oblivion with the cost of millions dead.

You mean that DDT?

Exactly. The whole DDT thing is about as credible as ManBearPig. Millions die of malaria needlessly in Africa in the decades that follow so eco-tards can feel good about themselves.

What about the fact that I see a shit ton of eagles now? Not connected?

Huh. I wonder if that has to do anything with them being federally protected and their habitat returning.

DDT is safe when applied correctly. That is a fact. But feelings are the substitute for science so we just kill people instead.

perhaps. although eagles have been protected by law since 1940. it could be that they became more protected around the time ddt was banned. i havent the slightest clue
