The federal standards were written by wildlife. Wildlife were immediately exempted from the document. That is just like obamacare, they impose a healthcare plan for the rest of the country but the government don't want the plan to pertain to them.?? We all know that these rules and standards that everyone keeps saying WE ask for were written to put us out of business. NADEFA wants to keep the borders to all states open and their ideal when this started is to open up texas for business to the north. So they pushed for this federal rule were everyone could operate under the same rules. Meanwhile the states adopt methods to pretty much keep everyone on the same field and trade is better than ever without FEDERAL REGULATION!! At USAHA in october patty klein showed a set of standards that was to put guidance to the rule that was already adopted. Nadefa executive director was ok with them being put out for comment then. He said that we can get them in place and fix them later, but charly and laurie were there to object and that is when the working group was formed to fix this detrimental document. I am name throwing stones at anyone, nor am i praising anyone but just telling the real story. We have went months working and working without any progress, even the state vets are saying the document is flawed beyond repair. In a private meeting with clifford charley was told that we could throw out the standards if the entire industry support and the state vets was on board. This would mean coming back to the table WITHOUT WILDLIFE. When that announcement was make everyone made charly out to be a liar, and that is total ********. Charly, Laurie and Eric have lost a lot of skin trying to help the cervid industry while NADEFA have tried everything to persecuted them for it! So we didn't take the opportunity to throw out the standards and pushed forward to exhaust all options with negotiations. For some reason we have the idea that these USDA people are out friends and we are going to all sit around have hold hands after this is over! So we thought that we are going to make some kinda progress on the DC trip. At the meeting clifford told us that this working group will conclude in 60 days and it was going to comment. There will be no pulling it back at that point and now we have showed that we are divided and blown every opportunity to get rid of this document. We are too damn stupid to listen to more than one person, shawn has had the lead this whole time and now we going to get a document that is going put us out of business. How long do we last when we test 100% of the animals and wildlife test less than 1%. They will point the finger at us until the public runs us out of town!! It is already happening in florida and many other states. We have less than an month left to fix this and still no progress.
So lets move forward, what do we do from this point? Are we willing to stand united and fight this or take what we have been given like usual? The past is the past, it is time to stand up and stand together. We have a lot of intelligent people in this industry now we need them all in one room with one consensus.
