Four days ago, on January 30, the Governor of Texas issued a disaster declaration on the New World Screwworm as it nears closer and closer to the Texas border There are rumors there are other cases present in Texas that have fallen on deaf ears We have been sounding the alarm since July, but this is becoming more and more of a National Security crisis, and USDA’s lackluster response is threatening the safety of our citizens and ranching industry You think beef prices are high now? Imagine when the cattle supply in Texas is wiped out because of an infestation of flesh eating maggots WE ARE HUMBLY CALLING ON THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO ISSUE A NATIONAL SECURITY DECLARATION IMMEDIATELY WE MUST PROTECT AMERICAN FOOD SUPPLY AT ALL COSTS
