We knew they'd blame people somehow, but look how many steps removed!

"We think the fertilizer is causing more algae,'' Blaustein said. "More algae means more snails to eat the algae.
More snails means more parasites (because they live in the snails). More parasites means more malformed frogs.''

It took some doing, but they did it.

Yep, they sure did. And of course, it's not the fault of just any old humans. It's the EEEEEVEEEEEL cattle ranchers fault. Of course, we can TRUST the results of this study: after all, they went in looking to pin the epidemic on pesticides, and wound up blaming ....COWS!!

Now they're looking to see if they can fit air quality into their theory. I wonder if they'll find that COW FARTS are the cause!!

BAN ALL BOVINES!!

Actually, they are not blaming people in general -- only elected officials and other parasites...
