They can't walk. How can they be approved?

Until today, there was no rule to prohibit downer cows from being

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?

The Bush Administration are not interested in safe beef, but have been
forced to take some of the measures long implemented in Europe to
protect beef industry profits.

Too little, too late, but that seems to be the motto of the Bush
administration.

I'm completely reassured by the statements of the Bush regime
concerning the safety of our dead animal supply. After all, they
wouldn't lie to us. Well, maybe about the air around the World Trade
Center being healthy to breathe. And maybe about needing to start a
war. I'm sure they aren't just worried about corporate profits though.
