Cattle group asks Congress to
intervene in Canadian border issue
The
O re g o n
L iv e s to c k
P ro d u cer
Association (OLPA) is urging
C ongress to stop the U nited
S ta te s D e p a r tm e n t o f
A gricu ltu re (U S D A ) from
issuing a proposed rule that
w ould re-open the Canadian
border to live cattle and beef.
Tw o C an ad ian cow s w ere
d ia g n o s e d w ith b o v in e
spongiform encephalopathy
(BSE) or “mad cow ” disease
within a seven-m onth period
in 2003.
The
U S D A ’s
c o m m e n t p e rio d o n th e
proposed rule closes on April
7, 2004, OLPA is concerned
that the meatpacking industry
is a p p ly in g tr e m e n d o u s
pressure on USDA to re-open
th e b o rd e r and is a sk in g
C o n g re s s to in te rv e n e to
counter this undue pressure.
The USDA rule “is not
science-based and subjects
th e U n ite d S ta te s to
unnecessary health, safety and
econom ic risks,” OLPA said
in le tte r s to th e s t a t e ’s
congressional delegation. “We
are disappointed the Secretary
[of the U SD A ] w ould even
consider abandoning one of
o u r m o st e f f e c tiv e B S E
prevention firewalls when the
threat o f B S E is the greatest
and wheri our international
export custom ers consider
Canada an unacceptable risk,”
OLPA wrote.
Instead o f relaxing
B S E f ir e w a lls , O L P A
suggested that U SD A begin
identifying cattle imported into
the U.S. from Canada over the
past d ecad e. It said these
c a ttle a re a h ig h - r is k
population as they originated
in a BSE-infected country and
it wants to “ensure there is no
mistaken identity should any of
these Canadian-born cattle be
infected with the disease.”
OLPA said the U.S. is
the largest beef producer in the
world, producing the best beef
a n d u n d e r th e b e s t o f
conditions, “We should not
becom e the dum ping ground
for cattle and beef rejected by
other countries.” T he letter
also cited C an ad a’s relaxed
feed ban and lim ited BSE
te s tin g as e v id e n c e th a t
C an ad a d o es not take the
necessary safety m easures to
p r o te c t its c a ttle fro m
contracting BSE.
If U SD A ’s proposal
to o p e n the b o rd e r ta k e s
e ffe c t, the g ro u p said the
e c o n o m ic v iab ility o f the
U nited States cattle industry
w ould be put at risk because
the rule is co n trary to the
international disease standards
set by the World Organization
for Animal Health. The letter
sa id th is c o n tra d ic tio n is
a lre a d y c a u sin g o u r b e e f
e x p o rt c u sto m e rs to raise
unnecessary concerns about
the safety o f d om estically
produced beef.
OLPA
hopes
C o n g re ss w ill re a liz e the
serious im plications o f the
USDA’s proposed action and
will take the necessary steps
to p ro tect the in te rests o f

cattle producers.
