Where are you coming up with the time line. Everything that I have heard is that the beef hit the market 2 years ago. If the cows being miss treated are the cows that they are talking about then the video had to be 2 years old at least. If that is not the case then this whole story is a bunch of made up crap, except the part of the animals being miss treated. I am guessing that these ass holes were herding cattle with a forklift and broke some legs. The whole thing is enough to make me stop eating meat and I am the biggest meat eater you will ever find. I have the cholesterol count to prove it. If you visited one of the dairy farms around AZ you might give up mike too. Talk about stink!!! Terry who was raised on a farm and knows that you don't have to treat animals this way. Stormy435@xxxxxxx wrote: For clarity's sake, I was objecting to the grandstanding of their investigation. If they were so concerned with the health and welfare of the cows and the American public, why didn't they blow the whistle with the First or Second or THIRD downed cow. They waited 3 weeks, then another week, then came out with the headlines. A typical H$U$ event, and it had to do with their "headlines", I will bet bottom dollar. I don't know about the slaughter houses....I was not there.
