It is so scary how easily these policies are sabotaged.
Environmentalists are calling for the prosecution of a farmer who claims to have sabotaged Wales's GM-free status by secretly planting and harvesting genetically modified varieties of maize and feeding them to local sheep and cattle.

Alarming news!
It is always saddening to find someone who secretly undermines the community for their own gain. I hope he will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Wow, he should be prosecuted for sure - that's terrible. It's also alarming how much trust we put in someone like that too as we are the consumers.

They should not only be prosecuted, but expropriated and jailed.

Wow! I can't believe the level of moral outrage over some plants. With numerous wars, famines and rampant disease I think a little perspective in in order here.

I like the idea of seizing the land and selling it to compensate those whose livlihood he's damaged.
