Sandhusker said:Tam said:Sandhusker said:Tam, lets consider Canada's last BSE positive - the 4 year old; Do you think that if she was shipped a couple of months before she was identified that we would of found her?
If she was slaughter in Canada her SRM's would have been removed and that according to World known science is what makes the meat safe not the Test . Wouldn't they have been removed properly in the US Sandhusker?
You didn't answer the question, Tam. I asked about her being shipped down here, not being slaughtered up there. I didn't think my question was that hard to understand. Want to try again?
Sandhusker you said shipped, you said NOTHING in the original question about down here. And the "We", I figure that you seem to be looking harder to find them in Canada than you are in the US so sorry I took the shipped as "shipped" period :wink:
That said, she would more likely have been tested when not showing signs in the US than she would have been if she was showing them. Targeted cattle in the US seem to be those still walking upright into slaughter plants. Those that can't walk disappear or did you forget the Washington Cow, according to the plant employee, was walking but the falling down cow in Texas disappeared before samples were taken
And Sandhusker if she had been shipped to the US and not tested her meat should have still been safe IF the US slaughter industry carries out the rules that the USDA wrote on the recommendations of the World Experts.
Or did you forget that, that is why the recommendations say that we are to remove the SRM's as that is thee number one food safety measure NOT THE TEST. Are you telling us the USDA FOOD SAFETY rules are not being carried out by the US Beef Industry to insure food safety? Blame the USDA again Sandhusker as they are not able to watch every producer, every feed manufacturer and every packer 24/7 to make sure you are all following the rules that are written. :roll:
I have a question for you how many BSE infected US cattle do you think the US is missing because of your testing protocol? :? and if you are missing them is the meat safe for your consumer to eat?????
