FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NMA LEADS FIGHT TO OPEN BORDER Oakland, CA � National Meat Association today filed its appeal to be an intervenor in R-CALF v. USDA in the Ninth Circuit.�The association linked its appeal for intervention with an attack on the preliminary injunction that stopped the opening of the Canadian border. �The red herrings posited by R-CALF are without merit, and NMA�s brief systematically addresses them,� said NMA Executive Director Rosemary Mucklow. �Scaremongering about beef safety, using distorted statistics and disregarding the thorough record contributed to by distinguished international scientific experts is unconscionable.� NMA members are unable to buy healthy, young Canadian cattle for direct slaughter, but still have to compete with the beef cuts from those same healthy young animals.�As much as $38 million is being lost per week, and there are beef packers that simply will not survive.� NMA�s brief is available in full on its website at www.nmaonline.org. National Meat Assoication is a non-profit industry association.�Since 1946, NMA has represented meat packers and processors, equipment manufactures and food suppliers who provide services to the meat industry. ������������������������������� -30- |
