We have seen time and time again how Canada has been held to higher standards and this will continue. What is frustrating is that CCA, CBEF and CFIA still will not take the step and do anything which may set the bar higher for the US.Tam said:Bill said:I wonder when the last American pail bunter nibbled out of the chicken feeder?Oldtimer said:But how long are we supposed to believe Canadians left feed laying around in bins or feedstores :???: The last Canadian cow was born 3 years after the feedban was put in place...
R-CALF claimed they could prove in court that the Canadian feedban was being violated- but noone with USDA/NCBA/CFIA/CCA wanted to see that evidence presented in court and blocked it....That alone raises big questions in my mind...I'd like to see these people testifying under oath rather than issuing random PR press statements.......
Yesterday?
It's only aquestion of when the first post-feed ban positive is announced in the US Oldtimer.
But it will not matter just like their pre feed ban cases. When they are ours there was hell to pay and restrictions to adhere to but all those restrictions just melt away when it is the US herd. We were to identify, find and destroy all cattle and feed sources and still have to but the US doesn't have to because their cases were PRE FEED BAN nobody is interested in them. It is truly amazing how fast attitudes change in the US when it is their herd. There seems to be a complete different set of rules for the US to those everyone else is to live up to.
Until that happens Canada will continue to look over its shoulder and play the weaker sister.
