[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 354826, member: 97"] rainie- It appears you and I agree on one thing- that we shouldn't be shipping these old cattle back and forth just to please the packers...There is just too little known about the disease and the extent of it in either country to be dropping this important quarantine...And if they need the beef so bad, it should be required to be tested... No other country in the world has dropped quarantines on live cattle and imported them after being found to have BSE- EU, UK , and Japan are still not... And rainie, quarantines are how both the US and Canada have controlled diseases for over 150 years- and it has worked successfully...As far as Mandatory ID, I admit the US as a whole does not have one- but some areas/states of the country have ID systems that have been working for years- some further ahead than Canada's...In Montana, along with about a dozen other states- every pasture movement (across county lines) and/or change of ownership of cattle is monitored and recorded... But as many of the mandatory ID opponents said- mandatory ID never prevented or stopped any disease, but good health restrictions, preventative measures, and quarantines did...But an ID system can make the quarantine area much smaller.... That is what we in the US want now is for the USDA to drop the rule allowing importing of old cattle from BSE countries- as a preventative measure...The same as I will challenge the proposed rule that USDA has now to allow beef products to be imported from Argentina- a country that still has Foot and Mouth Disease- (which if I was a Canadian, I'd be very concerned about- because as the laws now exist this Argentine beef will be able to relabeled as US product and sent right on thru to Canada) ....
