Provincial slaughter plants? Are there Provincial Slaughter Plants? Is there provincial beef? Who makes firm statements using words like "I think"? This is the continuing saga of hype, mis-information, etc. Just the facts please, just the facts? By the way has R-CALF commenced USA notification that US beef is a threat to the USA economy and a threat to the USA health of Americans given the BSE case in Texas? Stop eating that American beef!!! It must be unsafe also?? Hey how about if every Asian and other countries banned USA beef but allowed Canadian beef? R-CALF would sing a different tune then, eh? Bull can get you in pretty deep, but in the end it's honesty that prevails!
