You are right Troy, the PEW Commission report was negative. Despite our best efforts, the agriculture community was not a meaningful part of the commission's activities. The information released by the commission is based largely on old data and the opinions of the commissioners. It ignores the fact that antibiotics are used in a safe and responsible manner in the livestock, dairy and poultry industries and that a ban is completely uncalled-for. The Food and Drug Administration has science-based procedures in place that are far preferable to the politically driven Pew process. All of this propaganda is used to scare our consumers but our consumers don't know they are being tricked. If we run off livestock agriculture in this country, where will our meat protein come from? Brazil, China, Mexico? Do these countries have any safety regulations like we already have in place here in the United States? The answer is NO! I hope farmers and ranchers will speak up about this propaganda and let our consumers know PEW and the Union of Concerned Scientist are not looking out for the needs of consumers.
