The EPA registers pesticides and their use on specific pests and under specific circumstances. For example, “Pesticide A,” registered for use on apples, may not be used legally on grapes, or an insecticide registered for “outdoor use” may not legally be used inside a building.
Therefore, Zonatstat-H, which is registered for use on female horses and burros capable of doing environmental damage, may not be legally used on herds that __________.
a.) Are overpopulated
b.) Pose safety hazards to motorists
c.) Interfere or could interfere with animal agriculture
d.) All of the above
e.) None of the above.
The correct answer is d, meaning that PZP darting programs, which cause more long-term harm than roundups, are unlawful, should be stopped immediately and their organizers investigated by federal law enforcement.
