[Clinton] Two weeks ago our daughter was t-boned" and flipped in her car on her driver's side by a drunk driver. One of the shocking results we saw was that our 5 month old granddaughter, who was not in the vehicle, became a cranky, anxious, and unhappy baby. You see her milk supply from her mom was changed or stressed. We know first hand what stress will be placed on animals along the proposed GLB railroad line. We know that the rumbling and eventual tumbling of any of those cars will cause the HUGE event, the shock, that will change the milk in dairy animals and change the meat in meat animals. Stress on animals along the proposed path of this rail line will NOT diminish, it will compound, and the milk and meat will be changed forever. This is my experience as a large animal veterinarian as well - animal stress changes all outcomes for the consumer, and my clients depend on the milk and meat along this line.
