[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 45893, member: 97"] Bez- As far as your number 1 and 2 about where these cattle became diseased--You need to look at your CFIA website- They acknowledge that their investigation shows it is likely both were infected from feed that came from the same Alberta feedmill.-- And we did have an export market with many countries until the Canadian cow was found in Washington. I agree that Canadians should be angry-- but not at US ranchers or producers- Its multinational big business and the multinational big packers that are raping your industry-- Its your government thats sitting on their hands and letting it happen....American cattlemen are just protecting their industry- A Canadian cow already lost us most of our export market- We don't need to bring more in that could further jeopardize our BSE free status. Like Mr. Kruse points out, it should be the US cattleman that should be upset over the Canadian cow that was let into Washington- and I'll agree many are. Many feel that the US has gone way beyond the call of duty by even importing in Canadian boxed beef- since we are the only country allowing in Canadian beef-- And the import of it could be jeopardizing the reopening of our export markets. I didn't post this to upset anyone or to start a fight--- I just thought it well explained the thinking of many in the US cattle industry- anyway those that count on livestock for their living.
