Among the federal safeguards in place, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) prohibits non-ambulatory disabled cattle and cattle tissue identified as specified risk materials for use in human food. <BR/>My comment: Over 61 million pounds of Beef have been recalled AFTER it passed the USDA safty inspection system and only after the public got sick, the Beef was recalled.<BR/>“I have called on the Office of the Inspector General to work with FSIS and the USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) to conduct an investigation into this matter. As a result of the investigation, any violations of food safety or humane handling laws will be immediately acted upon.<BR/>My comment: The video clearly shows violations of Food safety... but I guess we still have to wait for the investigation report!<BR/>I saw the video first on 'Insider Edition' and I turned away because I just couldn't watch (call me a softy). I wonder how much TV Media attention this Autrosity will get. The Chinese Melamine case surely got enough that today we bend every product 'Made in China' over the same barrel.

What really needed to happend was fixing the entire industry. <BR/><BR/>Those horse who were supposedly saved from slaughter here have gone to even worse (believe it or not) slaughter conditions in Mexico. And we still have a problem here with this inhumane treatment. <BR/><BR/>I agree that present fines are not enough. Inspections are a joke.
