[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 158960, member: 97"] I see this is a major article in over 15 major worldwide newspapers.. I find two days silence on this board as interesting...When R-CALF said this very same thing about needing more safeguards they were called Protectionists, Liars, Deceivers and a whole bunch more...When several consumer groups said the same thing, they were called PETA members and extremists.....When Judge Cebull used the same info and issued his ruling closing the Canadian border to live cattle he was called "bought off".. Now a world wide large beef consumer corporation has an independent study saying we need more safeguards - Silence :???: ....... Nothing from the Packer backers (NCBA)-- nothing from the Canucks..... Could it be that the USDA scientists and their initial TSE recommendations for needed BSE safeguards and firewalls (prior to USDA's politically influenced decision to base their science on Corporate short term gain Economics) is right? And for two days I've tried to think what MacDonalds would stand to gain by influencing an independent study to come up with this decision- and I can come up with nothing...In fact it looks like this could be a disadvantage for them by hurting consumer demand and by possibly blocking a source of cheap burger meat (Canada's OTM's)...Thats what makes this independent study much more believable...Maybe some in the corporate world are finally looking at the long term safety and health of US consumers and the US cattle herd- rather than what they can stuff in their pocket today! I'm sure in the months to come, when USDA holds public comments on the OTM border opening and the subsequent Court and Congressional hearings (if they do decide to open the border), we will hear much more about this study...
