Well, that wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be.
Now lets see if we can have a serious discussion.
Here's the thing people.
Short version!
I and many others in the beef industry, are tired of paying dues and donating to beef promotion organization to promote beef and defend against all the bad publicity that we have been getting when the source of all that bad publicity is coming from the dairy industry under the guise of BEEF!
If you don't know what I am talking about, permit me to enlighten you.
For starters!
Poor taste complaints from consumers, demanding better quality burgers
consumer complaints about all those additives to improve flavor
20,000 cattle per month being culled at the slaughter house because of cancer eye, 90% being dairy cattle
Meat recall after meat recall because of dairy cattle
PETS's poster child--- downers - dairy cattle
hoof loss at slaughterhouse- dairy cattle
Ca, children being paralyze – dairy cattle
increase in human breast cancer being linked to dairy cattle
Now here is my position:
For those of you dairyman/women who are caring for your animals humanely with proper nutritional and medical attention, we in the beef industry need your help in persuading those in the dairy industry who are not, to clean up their act.
We either do it together or we beef people will do it alone.
The choice is yours.
Now you can define or redefine the word "beef " anyway you want , but know this.
Ether the safety and quality of "beef" coming from the dairy industry goes up or it will no longer be know as beef.
And you can take that to the bank,
Comments?
