Portland's Chemical Warfare
Tear gas has been blamed for a number of injuries and deaths in portland. A veterinary clinic was forced to evacuate all its feline patients after police began shooting the so called riot control agents into demonstrators. Similar reactions are caused in animals too, even causing death at certain levels of exposure. One 18 month old cat reportedly began clawing at its eyes after inhaling the gas. The city's bureau of environmental services began vacuming tear gas residue from the drains surrounding the downtown justice centre during the fed occupation. But little seemed to be known on both its short and long term effects on the environment.
