importing cows

Our friend Danny has the CWT program people coming to his dairy farm today to tag his cows and send them to slaughter. It sickens me. Isn't anyone outraged that perfectly good dairy cows, including bred heifers are being killed? And then I find this on the internet:

We are actually IMPORTING dairy cows from Canada.
Why???????????????????????
Let's see...we're slaughtering cows and then importing cows.
Isn't someone looking into this?
I'm sick of it all.
