Moot point!  Japan has already accepted "non tested" beef from the United States.  The reason Japan is not accepting our beef now has nothing to do with it not being bse tested.  The reason Japan is not accepting our beef now is because we failed to abide by our agreement with them.  We sent them bone particles in a shipment of veal.  That doesn't have a damn thing to do with bse testing.

BSE testing is a joke when the tests being used would not reveal prions.  That's deception and fraud pure and simple.  How can you guys advocate consumer fraud?

You bse testing advocates are such damn hypocrites.  On one hand you scream foul when packers practice meat color enhancement technology.  On the other hand, you want to test beef with a test that wouldn't reveal bse prions even if they were there.  WHERE THE HELL IS THE LOGIC?????

BSE testing of cattle less than 24 months of age is not justified, PERIOD!

If Japan doesn't realize this, WHY DID THEY ACCEPT UNTESTED BEEF??

Australia has no reason to test Rod, they haven't had BSE.  LOL!

The reason Australia is exporting to Japan is due to the fact that Japan has had BSE, the US has had BSE, Canada has had BSE, but Australia hasn't.  Again, you didn't know what you were talking about.

I have seen no official Japanese government request for testing so your question is irrelevant, AS USUAL!
