[QUOTE="frenchie, post: 63894, member: 451"] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dun Parts of another post I had made. BEEF Magazine's Cow Calf Weekly (May 29, 2004): . R-CALF made it clear this week, however, that the organization believes that the end does justify any means. The group held a press conference on Thursday, hand in hand with radical anti-beef activist groups, to denounce USDA's handling of the BSE situation. The press event in Washington, D.C., questioned the safety of beef, and called for government hearings on the matter. As could be expected, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association and other groups issued blistering press releases questioning R-CALF's decision and motives. It's shocking, following the disastrous statements regarding beef safety just a few weeks ago, that rather than issue an apology, the organization confirms to all that it is willing to destroy beef demand in order to further its isolationist, protectionist, anti-trade policies. R-CALF's members have far too much invested to have the organization lose all credibility or be subverted by these radical stands. For a moment, consider the caliber of groups R-CALF publicly aligned itself with this week: The Consumer Federation of America (CFA) is famous for opposing irradiation, and pushing for the reduction of beef in the school lunch program among other things. CFA's leader, Carol Tucker Foreman, is famous for her anti-beef rhetoric and efforts to stir up the hysteria about the safety of our product. Then there's Public Citizen (PC), which gains its supposed credibility through founder Ralph Nader. But PC is best known for its membership in the Global Safe Food Alliance, formed by such animal rights organizations as Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, the Western Organization of Resource Councils, Farm Sanctuary, etc., to put out anti-meat messages. [b] The connection is trough the public citzen group. Who is actively anti- beef .R - calf public campaigns hand in hand with them over the b.s.e issue. While at the same time,its buddy is actively promoteing anti- beef, and slamming the ranching industry..thats an incredible use of funds is,nt it.[/b] [/QUOTE]
