#BREAKING: TX Ag Commissioner: “What we’ve been doing since 1930 is releasing sterile male flies. The ideal is that the sterile male fly will mate with a female and the offspring will be sterile…but it DOESN'T WORK…We started this in November 2024. We have MORE cases now than we had then…so this is insanity. When you keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results, that’s insanity. What we need to implement is the SWASS system—Screw Worm Adult Suppression System. It was invented by
@USDA, it was deployed by the USDA in the 70s and 80s…It’s a fly bait…You put out this fly bait, it kills 95% of the
#screwworm flies. Problem solved…For some reason, USDA will not consider using this fly bait…it’s extremely safe, no harm to the environment…It’s been deployed, it’s not like it’s a pilot program…so I’m calling on
@realDonaldTrump to go ahead and have USDA to deploy this screwworm bait. If they don’t do it, I’m prepared to do it in Texas, well just do it ourselves. In Texas we have to lead the way in a lot of things so this won’t be anything new for us…this is a $32 billion dollar livestock industry, but it’s not just livestock, it’s wildlife, it’s your pets…so this is VERY SERIOUS.”😢
