The Downed Animal Protection Act

At least there are a few Congresscritters who "get it" regarding our food supply ... let's hope this passes quickly.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Downed Animal Protection Act goes further than the USDA temporary ban in that it also covers sheep, swine, goats, horses, mules and other equines who cannot stand and walk unassisted. It also calls for immediate humane euthanasia as soon as an animal becomes non-ambulatory.
