Seth & Andrew,
Either you guys didn't read my post very carefully, or I was unclear. Allow me to use the bold to clarify my original post:
Despite the illegality of the practice, it still occurs. Feed containing cattle remains is labeled "do not feed to ruminants" (cows) but in English only which doesn't do much good if the feed is sent to Mexico.
But you're right. Now that the practice is illegal, no businessman would EVER think of breaking the law just to increase profitability. :rolleyes
EDIT: Yes, that last statement was sarcastic but allow me to explain. I understand that enforcement practices are so lax, prohibited activities are almost impossible to detect. And I believe the penalties are low enough to fail to be an effective deterrent.
