I really, really, really fucking hate Monsanto.

From Greenpeace:No More Patents on Life
Monsanto has filed several patents on breeding herds of pigs. The only "invention" is a particular combination of natural breeding methods and ways of screening for particular genetic characteristics. But they are claiming patent on the resulting pig and its genetic makeup, meaning anyone raising pigs with similar characteristics will be violating their patent.

This is only the latest attempt by Monsanto to monopolize a food source -- other examples being their relentess attempt to create global hegemony around single genetically-engineered seed species that they own, without regard for negative environmental and biodiversity impacts.

Tell Monsanto to stop using patents to try and control our world's food supply. It's time for a moratorium on patents on life.

Gives new meaning to the term Capitalist Pig.
