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- |
