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.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
