No More "Downer" Cows To Slaughter, Says Ag Secretary

Posted on May 20, 2008 by Mad Cow
United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Ed Schafer just issued a long statement that includes this: "...today I am announcing that USDA will begin working on a proposed rule to prohibit the slaughter of all disabled non-ambulatory cattle, also know as "downer cattle." In other words, I am calling for the end of the exceptions in the so called "downer rule."

We'll provide more details when we have them.
