One of the big things that bothers me about all this is that they are saying that this tainted meat came from a "Downer" cow. One that was too sick to stand or walk !!!! They also said it came from a Holstein ??? I thought Holsteins were dairy cattle ???

Now I ask … what the heck are they doing allowing them to slaughter a sick downer cow for human consumption !! I mean, if the cow is sick …. doesn’t that tell us something ???

Most dairy cattle end up being made into ground beef, probably for the fast food market.

Who ascertains why down cattle are down? I am sure they do not do diagnostics why the animal is sick.

Downer cattle are not necessarily sick. They can be crippled for other reasons, birthing for one.
