From the Dept. of It's About Fucking Time!
From Bloomberg News:
Merck & Co. (MRK) will suspend sales of its livestock-feed supplement Zilmax in the U.S. and Canada after cattle taking it had trouble walking or standing.If the animals can't walk after eating that shit, what about the rest of us? Or will they just use that to fatten us up at the Soylent factory?
The sales halt is temporary while the company plans a study of the drug, Whitehouse Station, New Jersey-based Merck said today in a statement. The drugmaker, which sells veterinary and farm products in more than 140 countries, generated $3.4 billion last year from its animal health business.
Merck is taking the action after Tyson Foods Inc. (TSN), the Springdale, Arkansas-based beef, poultry and pork producer, said on Aug. 8 that it was halting its use of Zilmax because of lame livestock found at its factories.
