Give up freedom to get safety ?
Haven’t you wondered why every time one of these cases come up, we ALREADY know the origination of the cow ? Hint: it’s not because of NAIS. It’s because it’s the big factory farms and ranches that are primarily at risk.
The small organic farms have never had a problem and because they use organic methods they will not be at risk, yet you’d force them to comply with onerous regulations just because the major processors practice unsafe methods. Oh, and those same large processors get to track by herd, not by individual cow as the smaller farms do. It puts lots more cost on the small operations with little increase in cost on the big ones.
It’s good to know what you advocate - it might not be quite what you think.
A small farm in Vermont thought that, too. Until there whole herd of sheep developed scrappy, and was ordered destroyed to keep it from infecting other sheep.
Scrappy is the sheep version of Mad Cow Disease. Prions, which are folded proteins, cause that disease and not destructible. No one has yet figured out how to destroy the things. Autoclaves can destroy bacteria and viruses, but folded proteins, once in the environment, seem to be immortal.
This is very serious and claiming that you’re organic just doesn’t matter any more.
