As you have pointed out you other blog posts much of the island live in rural areas which gives them easier access to weedkillers and other poisons. The proffession with the highest rate of suicide in the UK are veternary surgeons, and i think access to poisons plays a key issue there. I do agree that other cultural, political and social factors push people in to considering suicide and the weedkillers are just a means to an end, I'm sure people determined to kill themselves would find another means. However, if they were not so readily available, may be the number of deaths from what could be thought of as a spur of the moment attempt could be reduced.<br />I don't know of the regulations regarding these things, but surely such chemicals should only be sold if there is a gurantee that they are also stored correctly?chamiranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043699434821911553.post-61140760519140212512009-10-08T20:36:33.696-07:002009-10-08T20:36:33.696-07:00It is a combination of factors:

Same reason why gun crime is high in the USA-easy availability of guns.<br />2. A cultural acceptance of suicide. In Christianity suicide is a sin, it is not so in Eastern religions.<br />3. A curious, hypocritical Victorian morality (which is claimed to be traditional) which conflicts with a lusty sexual promiscuity that flourishes in practice -undercover. When teenagers are caught out, suicide is a frequent option.Jack Pointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324737814154929009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043699434821911553.post-41385609802878699682009-08-22T23:24:17.421-07:002009-08-22T23:24:17.421-07:00Another consideration to be taken into account is ...Another consideration to be taken into account is the link between regular exposure to certain pesticides which cause depression in people and suicide.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043699434821911553.post-48939554058814672412009-07-14T19:55:26.764-07:002009-07-14T19:55:26.764-07:00Thanks for highlighting this problem which gets ta...Thanks for highlighting this problem which gets talked about all the time (heard it last week as well during the BizPact symposium which is focused on bringing investment to the regions for rural empowerment)but as usual, there is too little being done to address the issue. So many social issues trouble this nation post-war as well. We need to engage our leaders, the social and religious networks to address this very sad situation.Susannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1043699434821911553.post-22471008573531022792009-07-07T00:53:09.307-07:002009-07-07T00:53:09.307-07:00Actually the victim's wife had Rs1M in savings...Actually the victim's wife had Rs1M in savings from work overseas, and he also had a home, and a job that he gave up, so it was not financial, other factors, with alcohol addiction that was contributory.
