More on the beef recall situtation

You can read more about that aspect of the story in the I-Team blog here.
Why did they wait 6 weeks? If they truly cared for the animals I’d expect them to release the info as fast as possible. If they were concerned with the possible tainting of the beef and humans becoming sick I’d also expect them to alert the USDA and media ASAP. Lena Johanson on Gardner Goldsmith’s radio show yesterday said that in fact the Humane Society sat on the info while waiting for more video footage to be taken and that being against industrial farming actively work to increase regulation in hopes of effectively legislating them out of existence. They must have figured the impact of more video was more important than the lives of the cows or the humans eating the meat. That’s assuming they actually believed there was a possible health risk. Seems pretty despicable to me.
Not the blog they refer too also. The author claims the video is the worst they’ve seen in their 25 year career. They must have had a fairly sheltered career. Meet your meat is far worse.
