[QUOTE="Medic24, post: 66112, member: 1101"] Ummm. ok. I have read the previuos posts as carefully as possible, and in my simple mind, I have to ask.......... Canada definately has a problem with BSE, they know it, we know it, the WORLD knows it, and they are suffering terribly, as fellow producers in America, we can understand that, we can feel their pain.. And keeping politics out of it......... We got a taste of that same suffering when we lost our ability to export to part of the EU and Pacific rim countries. A wake up call for everyone, I do mean every one! But, if we can hope to isolate the problem to where we KNOW it is or has been, why should we even consider allowing it to be brought into a business that is tetering on the edge as it is? We can't even begin to chance even one case of BSE here in the States again. And as our northern neighbor, our good Canadian neighbors, would they really want to see that happen? It would then devastate the industry tenfold, and take away any safe haven for beef producers on the North American Continent! It would be a long time coming back from that for everyone! To put it in even more simple terms, if my neighbor's kids had the measles, would I want to invite them over to play with our children? Of course not, not until we are completely sure there is no danger of cross infection. a better question is...If I were a good neighbor, and my kids had the measles and my neighbor didn't, as a good neighbor, I would take every measure possible to make sure my family would not infect them. Thats what good neighbors are for. I believe Canada is our good neighbor, and has the same benevolent feelings, I hope. Ok I think in more simple, human, less political ways. Sorry. But why make sparks when there is a great chance of a fire? [/QUOTE]
