Unfortunately, the time for submitting comments to actually affect the implementation of this mandate was 2 years ago. The livestock transportation, buyers, producers, slaughter facilities, and feeders in the fine form of ignoring the what ifs have waited until too late in this game to change anything. The only hope for change is to also get the consumers on board with fighting for an exemption of some kind. That will occur when there is no meat and produce on the shelves in the stores, or the prices have skyrocketed. | REPLY REPLY WITH QUOTE |
