Get a grip, Eric! As foolish a lawsuit as this one is, and I *do* agree with you on its merits, don't castigate the whole cattle industry. I suspect that if you polled people in the cattle business, you'd find most are embarrassed by the Amarillo doings. If you have information on who is actually bankrolling this, go after that party, but don't make a blanket indictment of everyone in Texas who is associated with beef. And the law they're suing under, which I don't like either, is not for the sole protection of cattlemen, but for the entire Texas agriculture business. Have a malt and a cheeseburger and just relax.
