Is your survelance as accurate as other countries?
Has it been as accurate as others?
Has your feed ban been effective?

know what you're getting at, but when R-CALF made those statements, we had yet to find a native case of BSE. They were made under the assumption the USDA was doing what they promised they would do. Now, I don't see how anybody can not take anything the USDA says without a grain of salt

The only people that didn't think it would come sooner or later was RCALF, keep digging, it will get better!
The USDA didn't have control on whether you got BSE or not, just what they did with the info. when you did.
RCALF had control on the image they portrayed when you did find it, they screwed up immensely! They have lowered the confidence in the food system more than any org. in history. All along the NCBA has been saying that beef is safe, do you disagree with them?
R-CALF has lowered confidence? Horse crap! Why do you think this media event started with the announcement of the test? Why did it escalate when the test was announced positive. What it R-CALF's actions or the USDA's? Who has dropped the ball on this? Is the USDA's credibility being questioned because of a R-CALF statement or by the USDA's actions? Geeeeeze.

This media event didn't start with the US case, it started May 20th, 2003, and RCALF were the instigators. They used it for their own purposes, trade! This would not have been such a big issue if RCALF on May21st would have said that "both countries have safeguards in place" or might have the Court action placed more media scrutiny on the issue? GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!
