Bt crops linked to sterility, disease, and death. Thousands of Indian buffalo, sheep, and goats died after grazing on Bt cotton plants after harvest. Others suffered poor health and reproductive problems. • Farmers in Europe and Asia say that cows, water buffaloes, chickens, and horses died from eating Bt corn varieties. • About two dozen US farmers report that Bt corn varieties caused widespread sterility in pigs or cows. • Filipinos in at least five villages fell sick when a nearby Bt corn variety was pollinating. responsibletechnology.org/media/docs/Health-RisksBrochure-Spring2013-1.pdf
