TCFA Statement Regarding May 7, 2008 HSUS News Conference

As for today’s presentation by HSUS, we do not have enough specific details at this time to comment directly. However, Texas Cattle Feeders Association is on record strongly opposing any mistreatment of cattle. Education in the humane treatment of animals is among the services TCFA offers its member feedyards, and trained TCFA personnel routinely visit feedyards to audit proper animal handling as part of our Beef Safety and Quality Assurance Program.
