Comment from Barb Sachau

aphis docket 2006 -165 omb 0579 0205 usda is doing an extremely negligent job of "protecting the health of this nation or its livestock". the cows are drugged up. the chickens are drugged up with antibiotics. the pigs are drugged up. they are all raised in absolutely inhumane conditions that bring on constant stress during their short lives. a chicken gets 6 short weeks to live because of the drugs that make her grow so fast and so heavy, when it should take her a year to grow. this agency works for agribusiness and fails to truly do the job it was created to do. it has been taken over by the profiteers and fails to truly protect this nation or its livestock. the whole industry stinks. cows are kept perpetually pregnant bringing on mastitis and its pus. and then this stupid agency wants to take a survey of the guys doing the abuse to lie to us and tell us how good it is. let an animal protection person go to these places and you will get the truth about what is truly happening in america's agricultural dens of inequity. that is the last thing these profiteers want to happen. there is bribery going on. the inspectors who try to tell the truth about the sorry state of this industry are shortly fired from their jobs. this whole mess at usda is disgusting. this is my comment for the public record. i do not think the general american taxpayers should pay one penny for this kind of fraud to continue.
