The decision benefits the majority of ranchers, who do want to minimize the amount of BSE testing that they do. As I understand it, they exerted pressure on USDA to prevent Creekstone from doing the extra testing. They can be expected to lobby Congress to the same effect.

The court decision wasn’t that bad a decision legally. It’s the policy decision that’s the problem.

Time to contact your representatives so Congress actually sits up & takes enough notice to amend the law.
