CWD - fostered by greed and profit

[fabsroman]

Skyline,

We are all motivated by profit, otherwise we wouldn't work. I started my own firm 4 years ago, and while there were many reasons for it (e.g., I couldn't stand the partners I was working for, I couldn't stand the back stabbing at the law firms I had worked at), one of the big reasons was to make a profit.

Sometimes, doing the right thing and making a profit do not go hand in hand. For instance, attorneys should not take cases that have absolutely no chance of winning, but you probably know how it goes when a starving or greedy attorney is looking at a paying client with a terrible case.

What I do know is that some animals in this guy's herd were diagnosed with CWD. The right thing to do would have been to turn the herd over and to fight about the reimbursement price afterward, but that didn't happen for 3 1/2 years.

I am not condemning all "producers," just this guy. Yeah, the industry is tough, but aren't all industries, especially agricultural ones.
