		<description>Sue Monsanto for Tresspassing.

If Monsanto genetically-engineered products invade your property, sue Monsanto for tresspassing.

Monsanto can sue for patent violations when some aspect of Monsanto genetically-engineered products invade a farmer&#039;s property--which is absurd.  This is like someone leaving their property on your land, then suing you for theft.

In the case of Monsanto genetically-modified plants, the uninvited appearance of these plants in a farmer&#039;s field should be grounds for that farmer to sue Monsanto for tresspassing.  

The risk of release of genetically-modified plants outside the designated planting areas was one of the elements of public opposition to the commercial introduction of these plants.  Monsanto argued that the risk of unintended and uncontrolled propagation was low.  Now Monsanto is using instances of unintended progagation as opportunities to coerce royalty payments from farmers who never did and never wanted to use Monsanto GSM seeds.

Monsanto should be investigated for deliberately contaminating the lands of innocent farmers with Monsanto GSM products.  This may be a business practice of Monsanto, as a way of expanding the market share of Monsanto products and royalty fees.</description>
