Setting the Record Straight

This is a correction to an item, “Easing the Lame Cattle Ban,” posted on Extension Daily, April 13.

We erroneously reported that the society had joined an informal alliance of groups pushing for a reconsideration of the federal ban on lame or “downer” cattle.

The Humane Society adamantly opposes legislation that would ease the ban on the slaughter of downed cattle, according to Rachel Querry, the society’s deputy director for media relations.

In opposing the legislation, the Society joins 18 other organizations, collectively speaking for 13 million supporters, who represent "consumers, sustainable agriculture and animal welfare concerns," she said.
