Then how do they explain downer cows being used in Western Washington?
They can't walk. How can they be approved? Exactly. Um, maybe somebody didn't follow the rules? Just because a piece of paper says something, doesn't mean it is always followed. North Korea Nuke Treaty advocated by Clinton? Your local speed limits? |

Based on the facts in the case, isn't this statement an outright lie? Or am
I missing something? And according to the USDA and their "emotional" response to BSE they issued this FAQ What actions are taken at USDA-inspected slaughter establishments to ensure that cattle with neurological disease would not enter the human food supply? All cattle presented for slaughter in the United States are inspected before slaughter by FSIS for signs of CNS impairment. Any animals exhibiting neurologic signs during this inspection are condemned, and the meat is not permitted for use as human food. The brains from these animals are submitted to USDA's National Veterinary Services Laboratories for analysis. http://aphisweb.aphis.usda.gov/lpa/i...-overview.html -- Cheryl "I am only one, but still I am one.

I don't know how to cut and paste a post! Sorry. I think it was good old Gaubster that thought downer cows are not put into our food supply. -- Barb I can only please one person a day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either. |
