An investigation continues into a rash of milk contamination cases in western New York, but there are still no suspects.
State police say the tampering has stopped, and the number of cases remains at 14 -- two in Livingston County and the rest in Wyoming County. The last incident was in late March.
Someone sneaked into dairy farms at night and put antibiotics into milk storage tanks and injected cows with the drugs. The tampering ruined about 44-thousand gallons of milk worth nearly 50-thousand dollars to farmers.
The incidents have pushed farm security to the front burner for farmers and lawmakers. Some farmers have installed security cameras and other monitoring systems. And legislation was introduced in the state Senate to make agro-terrorism a felony offense.

I touched on this once before, but Wyoming County and Livingston County aren't that far from the Buffalo NY stomping grounds of
eco-terrorist Bryan Pease.
I hope our FBI is doing a better of job of possibly putting two and two together than they did pre-September 11.
Pease, by the way, is a graduate of Cornell Univesity, proving once again that "Ithaca is the City of Evil."

Injecting the cows? This is unbelievable and definitely sounds like an eco-terrorist. They don't give a rip about the animals they claim to want to protect. They don't give a rip about the health they claim to want to protect. They don't give a rip about private property. They are lawless scum. I hope they are watching the suspect(s) VERY closely.

Definitely PETA- they've been escalating their anti-dairy campaign lately. Much as I hate the PATRIOT Act, it's time to invoke it and seize the assets of PETA, Greenpeace, ELF and Sea Sheppard- some of these groups have made it clear that they're engaging in violence for political ends and Greepeace is their banker so they definitely qualify as terrorist organizations.

Toronto is a two hour drive from Western NY. How can there be ANY connection? Next you are going to say that we should stop young, Middle-Eastern men from getting on airplanes when it is a known fact that white, 80 year old Minnesota great grandmothers are our number 1 threat...

Here is an excerpt from an April 27 press release:
Senator Clinton met with dairy farmers earlier this month in response to a rash of possible bioterrorist incidents involving the use of antibiotics to deliberately contaminate raw milk in storage tanks. She also wrote a letter to FBI Director Mueller asking him to take every step possible to determine what happened in these cases. In her letter, Senator Clinton urged the FBI to ensure that the communities in New York that were affected by the attacks have the investigative resources and tools they need hold those responsible for the attacks accountable and to stop further incidents from occurring on other farms.
"The security of our food supply is crucial to protecting our nation against the threat of terrorism but the economic fallout from these attacks is also potentially significant for dairy farmers and for New York. We should react without delay to these attacks. We cannot let them continue to threaten our food supply, nor can we let them increase the already heavy economic burden on New York's dairy farmers."

In other words, the Hildebeast took the courageous stand of going "tsk tsk" and asking the FBI to do its job.
Be still my beating heart.
