AMERICA'S
BEEF EXPORT IS CHALLENGED
(Franklin, Texas, Ray Field) by
the Presidio, Texas USDA and
Texas Animal Health Commission.
With the Lite of animal abuse
coming to head it’s sparked a
more serious concern than just
sending horses across to
slaughter. It started as a
general concern about starving
horses in holding pens.
Escalating to more violent terms
and conditions horses dying then
being drug off to a local creek
bot...tom
where remains wash down into
water shed to the Rio Grande
River which flows down to a
water recreation area. After
several interviews from Steve
Long, Texas Horse Talk Magazine
the conclusion after he spoke
with Texas Animal Health
Commission Inspectors that the
states budget being cut by 50%
was the excuse why they were not
enforcing "COGGINS" to match
horse to cross the border. This
being said that on the bottom of
the coggins form states....
$10,000.00 and 5 years
imprisonment for falsifying.....
Meaning that when the trucks
cross over into Mexico they have
to pass through a USDA
Inspector. The standard Mexico
Health Inspection for horses is
simply a "pat of the rump" or
"its standing, load’ Em up". The
Problem is that if the United
States is not checking for
proper health papers to ensure
safety of all animals crossing
the border then "suspected
diseased horses and cattle" that
are held in the same holding
could be infected and carrying
disease. Any Government
official, meaning employee that
does the slap test is in
violation and a co-conspirator
in defrauding even the most
hateful slaughter plants. Brazil
competes with the U.S.A. in
export on Beef every year and if
the Brazilians challenged the
beef export of the United States
based on Presidio, Texas health
test check test, then the world
of safe meat is in trouble.
Small county Sheriff Department
as Presidio County has is left
with the burden when States cut
budgets and the Federal
Government cut back also. This
places the financial burden of
saving America on Sheriff's
Danny Dominquez, Presidio
County. These horses were
deliver on weight tickets and
when asked to check horses
against weight tickets Jim
Crenan, C4 Cattle Company,
Alvarado Pens who's alleged to
starving and letting horses die
denied access for comparison.
Crenan claims the horses came
in underweight and cut up,
mangled and busted heads.
Sheriff Dominquez has
investigated the abuse claims
but said that feed and water
were there when they checked.
Several horses were dead in the
pens but State Law in Texas
allows 3 days for removal of
dead carcasses. Crenan often
charges persons who bring horses
that die a fee for removal,
$50.00, $25.00 for his crew and
$25.00 city dump which is a
legal dump. Many horses are
found to be in the creek with
the microchip in place. Problem
is buyers buy the chips, install
the chips n the horses before
they cross into Mexico but never
record the chip number back to
the national database for
reference. TCEQ, Texas
Commission Environmental Quality
has 3 investigators on the case
of horse. One came last Monday
week for the criminal side and
second for the civil side and
third will be coming out this
week civil side. They fined
Crenan $10,000.00 (November
2010) before made
him clean it up and he went back
to the same ole story. What
makes this even worse is that Crenan placing a "stamp" on the
bill to the owner for removal
and then dumping the horse in
the creek, and yes there’s 5
witnesses so far that’s willing
to come forward, makes this a
federal crime for mail fraud.
With mail fraud, coggins
violations and list other a
person could be facing hundreds
of thousands of dollars in fines
and many years in prison.
Tonight’s word was that an by
this Wednesday there trying to
move all horses and remaining
cattle to El Paso to "bleed"
"coggins" and sell them before
any more evidence could be
gathered to prosecute Jim
Crenan for falsifying federal
documents mainly "Coggins Form"
to defraud and financially gain
in the theft of this perception.
This is the reason why cattlemen
will shoot every horse they see
because of people like this. So
Watch out America, Is YOUR BEEF
SAFE!
