Sandbag: "So if you believe people can not get BSE from eating an infected animal under 24 months, what is the risk?"
I have seen no proof that people can get bse from eating an infected animal under 24 months of age. With that said, there is also no justification to test animals under 24 months of age AT THIS TIME.
In the process of your feeble attempt to pin me down, you're defeating your argument for testing. Haha! What a dufus!
Sandbag: "You've just contradicted your previous statement that, "BSE TESTED BEEF could be less safe than other beef "in the cattle Creekstone planned to use."
I contradicted nothing.
In the context of this discussion, "BSE TESTED BEEF" means bse tested beef that is less than 24 months of age that has been tested with a test that will not reveal bse prions in cattle under 24 months of age. That is hardly comparable to a valid test if a valid test exists. I will honor the possibility that a valid test may someday exist and honor the possibility that bse prions may someday be proven to be unsafe in infected animals under 24 months of age.
You won't take my statements out of context Sandbag. Yes, consumers believe that "non tested beef" could be less safe than "tested beef" WITH A TEST THAT THEY BELIEVE IS VALID.
Keep trying, you still got nothing.
Sandbag: "See what happens when you try do defend a BS policy with more BS?"
Talk is cheap Sandbag! You've contradicted nothing I have stated with opposing facts. You never do!
Talk about defending a BS policy. Would that include your blind defense of unenforceable "M"COOL that exempted 75% of the imported beef? Hahaha! Talk about a blind defense.
How ironic that you try to take the focus off your lemmingly ways by accusing others of what it is that you do best.
Sandbag: "To answer your question, I don't know if you can contract it."
If you don't know if you can contract it, then why would you promote bse testing if you don't even know it is necessary? Great job defeating your own arguments. Here, have some more rope!
I'll tell you why you promote bse testing, because you are an R-CULT lemming that simply repeats what the other R-CULT followers are chanting. If it takes a position oppositie of USDA, that will be your position. Common sense does not enter into the picture because you have none.
OCM: "Whatever ~SH~'s belief, he believes it should be forced on the entire world. How Muslim-like of him. Convert at the point of a sword."
Oh look at the little liberal cheerleader, how sweet. Rah, Rah, go Sandbag! It doesn't have to make sense as long as you tell me what I want to believe says the liberal OCM. What a blind follower.
Consider the stupidity of your statement in the context of this argument. Sandbag is the "bse fraudulent testing advocate" and he believes testing should be forced on the industry and you claim I'm "muslim like" for opposing it. Hahaha! We know who wears the liberal turbins here OCM!
Stick to cheerleading because you obviously can't defend your views with intelligent arguments.
