VICTIMOLOGY

"Cow-Calf farmers fear they are next BSE victims" whines CBC Saskatchewan. Awww - those poor, poor victims. "Not being able to sell out cows and our yearlings in the summer time," Mervin Stoll says. "That market is gone and we're not going to be able to get it back." Stop! I'm already crying over your inability to sell out calves and yearlings! But the story goes on to report that "Stoll's neighbour Kevin Mercer says if the government doesn't act soon, the future of the cattle industry in Saskatchewan is at risk." So, see, there is an upside after all.
