*[Enwl-eng] Bees soaked in poison

[ENWL]

                        Banned neonics are still being doused all over 
Europe.

                        Beekeepers are ready to sue governments who are 
letting this happen -- but they urgently need to pay the legal fees.

                        Can you chip in to keep bee-killers banned?

            Bayer is fuming: the EU’s top court has ruled to uphold a ban on 
bee-killing pesticides.

            So Bayer and its pesticide cronies are playing rough --  
pressuring national governments to slip toxic neonics through an “emergency” 
loophole in the law.

            Make no mistake -- this is a tactic pesticide companies will 
repeat over and over until it destroys this bee-saving ban.

            That’s why a small group of beekeepers is preparing to sue 
against these fake “emergencies” -- and force governments to properly 
enforce the ban. But this won’t be just one lawsuit -- this could take years 
of constant legal battles until Bayer and Big Ag give up.

            So we need to be ready. Just $2 today will go into a mega-legal 
fund for beekeepers to access the minute they need to sue governments for 
spraying toxic neonics. People-powered lawsuits have always been our best 
weapon against the likes of Bayer -- can you chip in to close this 
bee-killing loophole?

            Here’s what’s happening: a ban on bee-killing neonics was passed 
years back in the EU. Bayer just lost an appeal to overturn this law. But 
the pesticide lobby has found another tactic to keep its poisons on our 
fields: backing industrial farms to come up with “emergencies” to dodge the 
rules.

            Every minute, field after field is soaking in bee-killing 
poisons. And bees are still dropping dead.

            People like you fought for and won this historic bee-saving ban 
on pesticides. So you can fight to save it too.

            These beekeepers are ready to sue any national government that 
is caving in to Bayer, Syngenta and other pesticide bullies’ lobbying: but 
without financial backing, they won’t be able to pay the lawyers.

            So today, we’re asking if you’ll help create the world’s first 
mega-legal fund to save Europe’s bees. Beekeepers and bee-defenders 
everywhere can access it whenever they’re up against Bayer, and keep toxic 
neonics banned forever.
