Hi Dave Louthan here,

 

I'm the guy who shot the mad cow. I am also the guy who has been beating the

hell out of the USDA. Well Mexico has caved in to Ann Veneman. A few days ago

she said Mexico's reluctance to open their borders was frustrating her. Well,

apparently she dragged out the Federal checkbook and now that border is open.

Our friends south of the border are going to be able to enjoy some good

American contaminated beef. She's telling the world she has done all these

wonderful

scientific things to stop the spread of BSE when in fact she has not done a

damn thing except suspend all BSE testing. When Creekstone Farms said they

wanted to test 100% of their beef the USDA told them they would be violating

Federal law and stopped them. The FDA is trumpeting how they finally got around

to

protecting the feed supply. Hello people, the cows we are eating right now

have been eating the contaminated feed since birth. They are toxic as hell,

their

calves are toxic and their calves will be toxic. BSE doesn't care about

regulations, it's already in the animals. When you sit down to dinner tonight,

you

are going to be eating Prions. They are going to kill you and your children.

 

Spit that meat out of your mouth it's bad. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN

LYING TO YOU SINCE THE VERY MINUTE THE MAD COW WAS DISCOVERED. They claimed it

was a downer. They forced Rodney Thompson, the USDA vet on duty that day, to

change the paper work on that cow from being a walker to being a downer. And now

they are going to prosecute him for it.

 

Then they banned the slaughter of downers for consumption. What they really

did was stop all BSE testing. We were only supposed to be testing downers. If

there are no more downers then that means no more testing, Get it. That cow was

a walker and got tested only by accident. All of you must realize that by

now. IT WAS A FLUKE.

 

You people in the media need to go to Washington D.C. and ask Ann Veneman how

many cattle intended for human consumption she has tested since Dec. 26. The

answer is 0. None. It's a damn white wash and you people are buying it hook,

line, and sinker. If somebody doesn't help me to stop the Government from

spreading mad cow disease it's just going to get worse and worse.

 

The hospitals are going to fill up with the dead and dying victims of a

government controlled by Billionaire beef producers who don't give a damn about

you

or your kids. Each and every one of you have got to help me anyway you can

think of.

 

If you're a reporter you have got to ask the hard questions again and again

until they are forced to tell the truth. If you work for the Government you

need to reach down inside yourself bring up some courage and confront the people

you work for and call the media and tell them the truth. If you are a meat

consumer you have got to stop buying that contaminated beef.

 

Throw the meat you have in your refrigerator away. It's loaded with Prions.

CALL YOUR CONGRESSMAN AND TELL HIM TO FIX THE MEAT PROBLEM TODAY; Not tomorrow,

not next year. TODAY. Right now. THE GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO KILL YOU IN THE

NAME OF PROFIT. You have got to stand tall now. Have courage. Speak loud and

long. Make the food you feed your children safe

Alert: Contaminated Beef/Mad Cow Disease Mon Feb 16 12:48:48 2004

63.164.94.150 Range Guide: Alert: Contaminated Beef/Mad Cow Disease In the

February 3 New

York Times, Donald G. McNeil interviewed Dave Louthan, who slaughtered the

cow on December 9 that was later discovered to have had Mad Cow Disease. He

disputes the official statement that the diseased cow was a " downer " and says,

" Mad cows aren't downers. They're up and they're crazy. " This means they'll be

much harder to identify, unless every single cow is tested. He also says that

during slaughtering, debris from the spinal cord, where the dangerous prions

lurk, " runs all over the beef. " When Louthan heard the misinformation about the

diseased cow being a " downer, " meaning a cow that can no longer walk, he began

writing and e-mailing newspapers and government agencies. He says the cow was

only identified as having the disease due to a " fluke " and accuses the

Agriculture Department of parking cars outside his home " trying to scare me. " He

claims one agent ordered him to stop sending e-mail. He says the cow with Mad

Cow

Disease came from another ranch in Washington State and was " a good walker. "

The only sign of disease was that her eyes were " all white, bugging out " and

she was extremely restless. He thinks that not enough cattle are being tested

for the disease because, " One mad cow is a scare, but two is an epidemic. They

absolutely, positively don’’t want to find another. " Louthan also says that

current slaughtering methods contaminate the entire carcass with spinal cord

debris, meaning all the meat could become contaminated, not just the parts which

harbor disease prions. McNeil writes that, " …… splitters cleave the spinal

column from neck to tail as hot- water jets blast fat and bone dust off the

saw. " This slurry, containing potentially dangerous spinal material, flows over

the beef, which is then cleaned by spraying with hot water and vinegar, neither

of which will kill the prions. Louthan lost his job after he told TV news

reporters he was sure the Mad Cow had already been ground into hamburger and

eaten.

 

STOP THE MAD COW MADNESS! Thu Mar 11 13:39:24 2004 199.3.199.248

davelouthan.org Surf around this site, friends---if you eat beef--ANY cut, it

can only help to be informed. exerpt: " The Secretary of Agricultures own

appointed committee of scientists and experts told us we have Mad Cow Disease

(BSE)

in the herd and a lot of it. Start testing immediately. But Ann Veneman

stands there with her feet stuck in the mud refusing to cross her pals at the

Beef

Producers Association. She doesn't care how many people die as long as she

knows she's got a high dollar job waiting for her in the private sector. Nice

going Ann. All right folks ya'll know who I am and ya'll know what I'm trying to

do. I have been in this fight since Dec. 24. Twenty hours a day, 7 days a

week. I lost my job and my home but I have continued to pound away at the USDA

relentlessly. My days are full of talking to dozens of reporters and sending

100's of emails trying to get this BSE thing stopped. I don't want to get to

dramatic here but I have had nothing but trouble from the people who want to

make

big money off bad meat. You've read about it in the N.Y. Times, various news

sources and all over the Internet. These people have spent millions of dollars

trying to cover up the squeaky little voice from the desert. Despite that, my

voice has been joined by other voices and is steadily growing into a roar of

people who are sick and tired of Gov't corruption and Big Beef with their

constant false assurances that there is no danger from BSE. In fact it's already

killed a bunch of people in England and various pockets of dead people right

here

in the U.S. These victims of Mad Cow poisoning would love a chance to help

stop BSE but they can't. They're dead. YOU CAN. Time is short though. Every

minute that goes by, another mountain of potentially contaminated beef is sold

and

eaten by people who have been duped by the USDA's nonstop reasurrences and

half-truths. That's why I believe I've done all I can out here in the sticks.

It's time to take this fight downtown. A bunch of my reporter friends and I are

going to Washington D.C. and we are going to get some thing done about this.

Peter B. Collins from All American Talk Radio and the Icicle Networks have got

me a plane ticket and they are helping me raise money to run on. Many people

are coming forward with donations for the cause. You can help to with money and

support. No donation is too small. Every little bit helps. I have been

kicking their butts on $131 dollars a week unemployment. Imagine what I could do

with a budget. I've never lied to you people and I never will. I won't waste a

nickel of your money. That's just me. When we win this thing, and we will win!

Any money left over will go to help kids that need it. Send all donations or

moral support to: David Louthan P.O. box 251 Moses Lake Wa. 98837
