 |
|
I was just glancing through the March issue of the Canadian Cattleman magazine and this little blip of a headline caught my eye, and now I'm really PO'd
"The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has announced proposed regulations to remove import restrictions from a range of U.S. cattle and beef products currently prohibited.
Based on the guidelines of the World Organization for Animal Health, the CFIA plans to permit the importation of live cattle born in 1998 or later, beef from animals of any age from which specified risk material has been removed and various other commodities
With respect to bluetongue and anaplasmosis, the proposed regulations will allow for year-round access for U.S. feeder cattle destined for slaughter into Canadian feedlots."
What is wrong with our government??? They obviously have no backbone whatsoever.

Any idea if those cattle will be branded with a U.S brand so they can be tracked.?

According to USDA's proposed rules if they go into Canada and then are sent back they will need to be branded CAN.

So you're saying american cattle automatically become canadian cattle when they go back into the states? How does that work???

Thats the way the proposed rule looks to me-- Everything coming in from Canada has to be segregated either by sealed container directly to slaughter or branded CAN and carry a Canadian ID tag if going into an approved and segregated inspected feedlot..... Only thing that qualifies as US is those born, raised and slaughtered in the US-- which is exactly what MCOOL asked for, which would make it so easy to implement now.....

| That just doesn't make any sense. Here's a scenario for you....american born critter sent to Canada and then shipped back to the states with it's CAN brand or ID tag is found to have BSE. Is Canada supposed to take the credit and blame for that?

I would think that with your ID system- you would tag everything coming in and would have a record of where it originated--(unless it lost its tag in the feedlot....)
Could be interesting who would take claim or blame for that animals infection.....

| I think those american cattle should have an ID tag before they come to Canada, just like we do ours. Then there'd be no question as to who's fault it is.
