I have posted it many times you just don't care to see what a liar your hero really is.Sandhusker said:Tam, "If R-CALF truly doesn't trust the USDA then why was Leo willing to tell the US consumers that BSE is not an issue in the US because of firewalls and safeguards that the USDA wrote and implemented so many years ago?????"
That's not what he said, Tam. Your arguement is crap if your supporting "facts" are not facts. I'd ask you to post his actual statement, but we've been down that road before. The first time you mistakenly omitted the first half of his comment, the second time, you insisted on ignoring Merriam Webster. What does your brother say..."attempting to mislead....."?
here is another quote from Leo, Sandhusker
Suspect Sample Tests Positive for BSE
BILLINGS, MONT. (June 24, 2005)
snip
“The BSE safeguards already in place here in the U.S. are more stringent than measures any other country has ever implemented prior to having a case of BSE, including Canada,” said McDonnell. “Yet, USDA continues to seek to lower our import standards by writing a Final Rule that would allow cattle and additional beef products into the U.S. from Canada, a country that doesn’t meet the minimum internationally accepted standards for BSE prevention and control.”
.”
This is exactlly what Leo said he was going to say if BSE was found. :nod:
Leo McDonnell said
“we know if we are going to keep consumer confidence we are going to maintain some of the highest standards in the world to make sure that BSE is not introduced into this country. And we are going to make sure we have the best meat and bone meal ban in this country in place. So if for some reason we did find a case we can stand and look our consumers right in the eye and say, don’t worry we have had these firewalls in place for years, the only country prior to having a case of BSE to have these firewalls in place for so many years. And we did it to make sure if a case was ever found it was a non-issue. If we look them right in the eye and say that I will guarantee they will keep eating beef”.
it was Bullsh** the first time he said it and it still is :liar: as you still feed chicken litter and condemned pet food which both contain ruminant by products back to your cattle, Canada ban these things in 1998. therefore you DO NOT HAVE MORE STRINGENT MEASURES IN PLACE.
And PLEEAASSEE don't use yours is Atypical because when Leo made this statement about your BSE you had no idea it was any different from plain old BSE. And I find it very strange that when you look at the press releases from R-CALF about the time of the second BSE positive in the US there in not one press release about it. It really did become a non issue in the eyes of R-CALF. No definitive answer for R-CALF as they don't seem to care where it came from. As long as you have those magical firewall that no other country has, that can protect from native BSE but not imported. :wink:
