That only falls in line with other policies in the bizzarro world of the federal gubmint:
"Clear Skies" initiative that rolls back progress of the clean air act
USA Patriot act that rolls back protection and rights under the constitution
An unqualified FEMA director who's emails included quotes like "can I quit now?" after Katrina.
...etc, etc, etc.
Why not have a myopic USDA spend a boat load of dollars tracking the symptoms rather than the root cause which, by enlarge, is already known.
...so what's wrong with feeding livestock the brains and end-trails of their brothers, sisters, cousins and parents anyway?
Even if every person on Earth voices dissent against what the US gubmint is doing, there is still the monumental task of
picking a priority and direction. I don't see an end in sight unless every citizen of every country becomes active and voices their dissent.
It's everybody's problem.
I just get extremely frustrated trying to figure out how much I can do in between anti-racist demonstrations, fighting for quality K-12 education and programs that promote science and engineering - causes that I've adopted over the last two years.
Thank you. Keep up the good work.
By the way, there is no point. I'm venting.

Greetings,
Please call your representatives, senators and everyone you can. This bill
includes cats and dogs. And if you think it is about preventing disease,
think about this: All of your food will be microchiped! I do know how
hard it is to find those microchips and remove them when you butcher, the
emu industry used them. We could all wind up with a pound of microchips in
our intestines.
Bright Blessings,
Kim
