Researcher Judy Hoy has been documenting diseases and birth defects in wildlife for 50 years. She has observed increasing rates of cancers, tumors, and physical deformities in birds and mammals since 1995. Specifically, she has seen more cases of underdeveloped jaws, enlarged hearts, lung spots and bleeding, hoof problems, and malformed organs. Hoy believes these increases in health issues are linked to rising use of the herbicide Roundup on Roundup Ready crops in the region near her research area. The document includes photos of tumors observed on various birds and mammals between 2007-2010, which coincided with increased Roundup usage on local farms.

1. Wildlife
Researcher Judy Hoy has been documenting
diseases & birth defects in wildlife for 50 years.
Since 1995 she has seen increases in:
Underbite and malformed jaw
Enlarged right heart ventricle
Spots and bleeding of lungs
Weak calf syndrome
Hoof problems
Tumors
Malformed thymus gland

2.  Prior to 1995, I saw only one animal with
tumors that looked like cancer.
 After 1995, I have seen many birds and
mammals with cancer.
 This photo document gives examples of tumors
and cancers I have observed on animals since
1995.
 Several more goats and quite a few pigeons
with tumors I have observed are not in the
document.
 One goat had tumors all over her udder.

3.  In the first 25 years of rehabilitating birds, I
never saw a single bird with tumors such as
those shown in the following photos.
 This is just a sample of what has been
observed and reported, with regard to tumors
on mammals and birds between 2007 and
2010, when huge new amounts of Roundup
began being used on Roundup Ready Alfalfa in
our area and in states upwind.

6. Tumors on the breast muscle and internal organs of an immature
male Red Crossbill from Ravalli County, MT, in spring 2009.

7. Male House Finch with a large tumor on its neck.

8. Tumors on the intestines of a female Red-tailed Hawk. Bird died
August
2, 2008.

9. American Kestrel heart with large tumors. This kestrel died in
late
summer of 2007.

10. Adult male goat which had the liver tumors
shown above. The goat died on June 5, 2008.

11. This older female sheep was euthanized in February 1010, because of
the large tumor on the front of the mandible.

12. Skin tumors on a male white-tailed deer in Ravalli County, Montana.
There are at least three tumors on the face, one on the left side and at
least two on the right side. There are at least two tumors visible on the
body, one on the left shoulder and one on the back. Also, as is evident
in the photo, this deer has an obvious severely underdeveloped lower
jaw commonly called mandibular brachygnathia.

13. This tumor came from the intestinal area of a 6-year-old
captive female wolf, verified by testing as cancer. This tumor was
approximately 18 cm across.
