I will attempt a short answer.

This does nothing to prevent disease or improve food saftey. Inspecting every carcas would do that which the USDA refuses to do. As a matter of fact the USDA prohibits private ranchers from testing all their herd for BSV(mad cow)You can do it yourself but can't sell it as USDA meat

Also many don't like the 9th plank of Communism being rammed down their throat

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.

OK. How does this do nothing to improve food safety? Wouldn't it be useful in identifying which animals had come into contact with which other animals for purposes of quarantining suspect herds?

If you inspected every carcass, you would certainly keep unsafe meat out of the market. But what does that tell us about possible cross-contamination of existing herds?
