GM animals contaminate land

Tests have revealed genetically modified cows and sheep are
contaminating the land. Experimental animals have been grazing
near Hamilton, and latest tests show signs of their presence has
made its way into bugs in the soil, something scientists had
thought was almost impossible.

GE Free New Zealand spokesman Jon Carapiet says there is
