I think the point is that rich people don't care unless it effects them, so point out that it does.
Do those chemicals also affect reptilians the same way?
It is in the ecosystem so certainly in reptiles.
That is a good point as a sad truth.
I am glad of the publicity, maybe this will increase some anecdotal impact of telling the story, but they are way underselling it. Everyone has forever chemicals in their blood. Eskimos and Australian aborigines have forever chemicals in their blood. People tried to do a comparative study to analyze the health impacts, and they literally couldn't find any population anywhere on earth even after quite a bit of searching that didn't have significant amounts of forever chemicals in their blood.
