Mad cow decision opponents take to Facebook

By Mad Cow Lawyer

In just over a week, nearly 9000 people have joined a social networking group objecting to the Federal Government's decision to allow beef in Australia from countries affected by mad cow diseae.

The Facebook site, called Support Aussie Farmers - Say No To Imported Beef, says many consumers want imported beef clearly labelled in supermarkets.  Founder of the page, Donna Morrison from Drysdale in Victoria, says Australian consumers have a right to know exactly what they're eating.  "It just makes me so happy to find so many more people out there like myself that are passionate about this country, about its farmers and about our rights," she says.  "The majority of people and myself would prefer to support Australian farmers and back Australian farmers and eat Australian beef.

"It's the best in the world."
