I need to comment on this subject. I can't give date or place due to confidential reasons but  there was an instance where the USDA inspectors were threatened and things done to them from the very plants they were working at. It was brought to the attention of the USDA and the inspectors were told to back off and let the plants do their thing. Im not saying it was mafia but there is big muscle surrounding these plants. And it wasn't in regards to BSE because it wasn't a cattle slaughter facility. People might say I'm fear mongering but if everyone was honest with themselves they would admit there is much corruption in the world we live in.
