Armed USDA agents?
Wow... I just found this article and had to post it:
Was diseased cow indeed a ‘downer?’
Cattle hand that killed animal disputes USDA's contention
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4198248/
Apparently the guy who killed the mad cow claims it was not sick... that even the new rules being adopted by the USDA won't protect aganist BSE/vCJD. He apparenly got fired for saying the same thing I did... that the goverment is lying to us about the safety of our food.
At that point, USDA agents started to stake out his house, including an armed agent.
Why does the USDA have armed agents?!? Their roll is to promote agricultrure... not law enforcement.
