I have grave concerns that this chemical, which went through the numerous stomachs of a cow and was STILL potent enough to kill plants is allowed to be used!

What happens when the beast is slaughtered, and sold for human consumption?

I notice that the use of Aminopyralid is banned in some states of America!

I wonder whether there may be law suits to follow from, for instance, organic farmers who have used manure in good faith only to find they can't sell any of there crops for human consumption!
