Groups Work to Halt Imports of Canadian Cattle
Published Thursday, July 03, 2008 at 04:47 AM
Counting the lasts case of BSE confirmed in the province of British Columbia, there have now been 14 reported cases of BSE found in cattle born in Canada. Half of these cases have been in cattle born after March 1, 1999. That’s the date the Canadians implemented a feed ban designed to stop the spread of BSE. The notice calls that date - speculative and inconsistent with available information.
The Plaintiffs are seeking a preliminary injunction to halt the imports of OTM Canadian cattle and beef until the District Court completes its review of the merits of their claims.
