Monsanto may be on the verge of merging with two of the world's largest producers of bee-killing pesticides, Bayer and BASF -- creating a massive and devastating corporate bee-killer. Will you chip in to help stop it? DONATE CA$1 NOW Joseph, Monsanto is working on a merger with the world's largest manufacturer of bee-killing pesticides, Bayer. It wants to take over Bayer and BASF, massively increasing the danger to already-threatened bees. This mega-merger would make Monsanto the biggest seed company AND the biggest pesticide company in the world -- giving it a near-monopoly over worldwide agricultural production from beginning to end. Each time we’ve fought back against these dangerous mergers. and successfully stopped its merger with Syngenta. Monsanto is desperate to expand its business -- so we need to launch an all-out fight now to stop this merger before it's too late. Will you chip in CA$1 to stop the Monsanto mega-merger? Monsanto is desperate to expand after its merger with Syngenta fell through. The merger Monsanto is discussing would create by far the biggest pesticide company the world has ever seen. And at the centre of their corporate agribusiness model is the indiscriminate, widespread use of pesticides linked to the massive global bee die-off. Together, we were able to help stop the Syngenta-Monsanto merger because we showed that a corporation that big would have monopolistic power over farmers and the entire agriculture industry. This new merger being discussed with Monsanto, Bayer and BASF would be just as bad, if not worse. With your help, we'll continue our efforts to block any merger that would allow Monsanto to become part of a bee-killing monopoly -- including our vital shareholder work to hold agrichemical giants to account, our work supporting legal suits to save the bees, and much more. Once a merger like this goes through, it's often impossible to undo the damage -- we need to act now to nip this merger talk in the bud. Will you chip in CA$1 to to block the creation of this massive corporate bee-killer? Yes, I'll chip in CA$1 to stop the Monsanto, Bayer, BASF mega-merger.
