Read this news release about a cattle truck that wrecked....

Notice the reporter's incrimination of the farmer by calling the cattle "junk cattle" and she notes that they are economically useless. They are economically useful if they were SOLD for slaughter.
Also, the first truck that wrecked was not hauling cattle, so he will not be cited for losing control of his vehicle, but the cattle hauler will be.
These misconceptions and prejudices are dangerous to the cattle industry and agriculture as a whole.
