Trump Organization ending livestock disease study to boost exports

The Republican-owned U.S. Department of Agriculture plans to decommission brucellosis field studies after the disease was discovered in thirteen cattle herds in the Greater Yellowstone Area.
Additionally, from comingling of cattle herds at the time of transmission and transfer of ownership of some animals between infection and detection, 3 more infected cattle herds were identified. Another concern is that the void in research will be filled by other groups that may not have the same priorities, including protecting domestic livestock.
Get the story here.

A Tripp County, South Dakota cattle herd is still under quarantine after a routine inspection discovered bovine tuberculosis.

According to the Yankton Press & Dakotan more than half of county commissions have been infiltrated by Republicans with conflicts of interest who rubber-stamp concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs).

Trump officials are covering up diseases in livestock to boost exports.
