students to my special guests and challenge them to some straight talking political debate. al-jazeera. hello i missed with the headlines on al-jazeera turkey's president talk about iran is in such a way he's meeting his russian counterpart at iran has repeated his threat to restart the military operation against kurdish fighters in northeastern syria a cease fire there is expected to end chews day meanwhile bashar assad has called the president a thief he made the remarks during a visit to areas of the province that have been taken from backed rebels by government forces now iraq's military says u.s. troops who crossed over from syria do not have permission to stay in the country the soldiers are part of those forces who withdrew from syria as the takesh operation against kurdish fighters began the pentagon says the aim is to bring u.s.

troops back home and not for them to stay in iraq in 10 minutes however the u.s. secretary of state has indicated that washington is still prepared to take military action in the region if requires where we see american interest at stake or fundamental norms around the world that need to be enforced will use all the powers that we have you suggested the economic powers that we've used will certainly use them will use our diplomatic powers as well those are our preference we prefer peace to war but in the event that kinetic action or military action is needed you should know the present trump is fully prepared to undertake that action protests as in lebanon are demanding reforms despite the government of previous sweeping economic measures to improve the economy or the already the appear to be tightening security as police and military dispersed protesters trying to erect barricades correspondent stephanie decade with the latest. we are on the main beirut tripoli
3:02 pm
highway and you can see it remains blog this is one of the arteries of transportation in the country and this is an effort by the protesters to keep the pressure on the government were in the area of people so you can see tense have been set up people is making she show they're playing games they've brought in food there's a couple of camping tents further down because people will stay here overnight because they want to make sure this remains closed they're not happy with the reforms that entails the politicians i'm just going to bring in jessica obeyed who has been here protesting why are you still here we heard the reforms are they don't good enough shows a high level of to incompetence because they are realistic their own profession and they're not implemented good and it shows also that the government is not twinning to but anyhow preferred option and this is why we're here the government has been out of options whatever they do from here even if people are out of history is and will not be able to govern not implement any of the necessity of a set of measures necessary for the economy preforms because if completely lost the
3:03 pm
trust of the citizens and the people are the source of power and would just put things back to auction record wonderful thank you so that's the message you've been hearing from people in beirut who are now on our way to tripoli to give a sense of course that these protests are not just in the capital they're affecting every element and sector of society in the significant thing is that people are united where the christian whether it's in the whether she whether druze or pointing the finger at the government that it's not good enough it needs to go they want accountability. at least 5 civilians have been killed in yemen during the strike by the saudi u.a.e. coalition and struck a moving vehicle and key tough district that's in the northwestern province of sada 2 children and 2 women were among the dead the u.n. says ending the war as soon as possible is crucial the saudi u.a.e. coalition has been fighting through the rebels alongside yemen's government since 2015 and taliban fighters have killed at least 16 afghan police offices that happened in the district including his province 3 fighters were also killed in

violent protests are taking place in bolivia where the president is being accused of trying to manipulate sunday's election results so that he can avoid a runoff in december even more as appears to have a 10 percent lead over his main rival but carlos message is refusing to accept the results and canada's justin trudeau has secured a 2nd term as prime minister but his liberal party hasn't won enough seats for a parliamentary majority that means trudeau will need to rely on the support of the new democratic party to push through legislation the main opposition conservative party picked up votes where liberal support. all those other headlines join me for more news here on al-jazeera circle of poison stay with us.
3:05 pm
the environment doesn't know any boundaries you know dust and pollution from china settles in the us you know nuclear radiation from chernobyl went over iceland. what goes up into the environment goes around the world and ultimately this then layer of topsoil. maybe 6 inches of soil around this hard planet spinning in space represents the dust of our ancestors all human history and all the other creatures are in that soil and to contaminate that and the water supply in the air is an unforgivable sin it's something that will pay for as a species. in generations to come this senate agriculture committee is considering a bill that would ban the export of dangerous pesticides farm workers from abroad
3:06 pm
told lawmakers yesterday of devastating health problems from exposure to chemicals made by american companies close to reagan former morio zimbardo used to grow bananas for export to america until he believes the pesticides sprayed on the plants made him and 800 other workers and. he told a senate committee there were times when he virtually bathed in a chemical that u.s. companies and officials knew could render men impotent if a chemical is banned or unlicensed as too dangerous to use in america should it be morally wrong to export it somewhere else aside from morality many experts believe americans are eating these pesticides can produce grown over see the so-called circle of poison. we know the circle poison really started for me years before when i was in the peace corps in afghanistan and my wife and i were in this little remote northern town called has absolutely nothing to do there and. we were. board and
3:07 pm
one day we picked up some food from the american embassy when we were in kabul and she was reading the ingredients on the kool-aid packet that she'd gotten which shows there was a lot of greed in telecom and she said holy cow there's cycle mates in the us i said wait they're banned about us government how could a banned substance end up in a poor country like afghanistan and so that started the investigation where i started to realize that systematically anything that was banned or heavily regulated or restricted there on registered in the us was being allowed by the us government and in fact encouraged to be sent overseas almost as compensation for the companies from losing the us market. be. the least to say except
3:08 pm
pushed on the grounds that it's a very modern way to do. i remember. years ago reading a book that india is on to develop because it doesn't use pesticides and we've made poisons the measure of progress and catalytic this it's called god some countries it is so beautiful. it has some of the best health indicators in the world 100 percent literacy and you go and spray poison. you know so if anything so. she actually got us into one of.
3:09 pm
the issue of the 7 categories of really unique is the 1st response in the past in back to her a series on animals. we have the disappearing of the dogs doing the chickens dying snakes dying in the in the in the planet's media. initially the people were really happy because the snake said they in the cause of dying so the nobody will go your color will come and catch you if you can so you're happy you can walk in the plantation freely because all the snakes are gone but in a year's time they found that the chicken is also disappearing. to your spine then they found that they can no longer keep dogs because the dogs again. suddenly you have the backs to disagree on human beings and when the impact became physically human beings like. the what we call the brain in the man. people born with old limbs 7 cases people born with you and then there are things outside the
3:10 pm
body you name the human disorder which can happen to a body you see in custody and. then be active and then and then to understand the issue of. this is that and aside from the local community generally they were not. there in fact it's a place that they can pass the left and there is no other source of pollution in that area. so we would also not be sure whatever we discuss debate the best. thing the information they said only relates that now these things can happen. probably the signs and symptoms were. really early ninety's like $919293.00 that's going to be a. child born with something. new ones born with a different time does not expose but patterns are exposed and the former that is
3:11 pm
happening today. in the cashew plantations of india dr and his mobile medical team visit survivors of one of the worst pesticide disasters in the world. the transition here or. here also is sort of. the. this. and he did let me. look i've you know saturday. annually. very. strange
3:12 pm
and handy. for living. there and feel a little. then the young one. after but the fans noticed that. not having on the letterman might make storms like an ending all and some mean some activities. solo they've done some and they've missed us he's having sort of us. all does but i think. they're going to get it. but. then. they eat. that normal a head if you. believe that that is what he's going to. be can
3:13 pm
do that we've been. and so for now we'll play doesn't landed in this to be fixed up each week i think it would be young to possibly have an addition we have already had to have british don't particularly give you tips for the competency of the big mint this may be a city but a nice but we've been up and that you want to be having this thing to go to get him to fix it in the indeed you know we just wanted to have one doesn't make a nomination. and you know it's. going to. run out to the. main thing i don't want to.
3:14 pm
live in that i'm going out and. see it as an absolute be norman said before they expose the fantasy. hold it know she's been in. this unit which. is the most liberal movement and. she was 66 years she was studying the 2nd standard and she was running behind and itself it's just that she was 20 she was learning behind that he could see if she has been this much before we did this much problems in the table she was not i would have. shows that she was not meant that that then she was absolutely normal she was able to handle him. then after spain see this collapse
3:15 pm
and became a things. which are very very very. said he would be going to let me come up ok and. say ok listen ok we're going to see. this is the son of his family. his name is obsessed he's often both of us. so so the notion of this head of a list will be as i'm going to all of
3:16 pm
a spectacle. of some fun looking into. it perceive the u.s. government as one only just for the clippers starting from b.d.d. a man in $72.00 when the u.s. abandons to distil they're used to the next will be to africa and asia even after 50 years they're doing the same thing it is very unfortunate. food. for gas drop from grain be directed break or in gas bombs but good enemy right it would gas
3:17 pm
against your community there is no reason for there are planning. before world war 2 there wasn't widespread use of pesticides there was reliance on some of the us but during and after world war 2 when companies began to develop these chemistries for war they were looking for a new markets for the same chemicals and so turned to food and agriculture after war and things like organophosphates which. their nerve poisons when then pushed into agriculture many of them are still used mites might spread and. without war we would never pass decides that's maybe that's an irony maybe maybe not but one way or another way this is what we ended up with in the early seventy's it was clear we had problems health problems and environmental problems we've never experienced before thanks to pesticides that's when the us government in the act of
3:18 pm
51 provision of which allowed the continual production and manufacturing of pesticides that were not permitted for use here to be exported overseas that set up the whole regulatory loophole that created this allowed the circle poison to come true. limited data from the e.p.a. in 2013 revealed that banned restricted an unregistered pesticides a manufactured in $23.00 states to export only the e.p.a. doesn't track the volume or final destination of these pesticides which are then applied to crops like coffee tea cotton fruit and vegetables and may indeed be imported back to the u.s. as pesticide residues on these foods the f.d.a. only inspects 2 percent of imported produce so the true risk to the u.s. consumer is unknown. there's a contradiction here because i think when you look at nuclear technology we're very
3:19 pm
careful in how we export that technology but you know i think one of the major concerns we've got to admit is that where we worry that an abuse of that technology or misuse of that technology will come back to her the united states in some way or another we need to have that same attitude with pesticides. you know when i step back and really think about the scope of what we've done it's been a giant terrible tragic experiment it goes way beyond past decides to a specialist lead paint flame retardants to all kinds of products drugs pharmaceuticals that. were not properly studied and cleared for safety before we turned them into products all those products and all that export and all the damage that's been done for decades the 1st politician that really took notice of this was president jimmy carter when i was gay regular leave office i had exhausted by
3:20 pm
effort to get congress to pass it but we had all the material to show that we were doing something it was basically unscrupulous or illegal or as international law goes but the manufacturers of these dangerous materials and i did was. that they obstructed what i did so only i could do it issued executive order as a last resort and it precluded the distribution of sale of any material basically overseas that we couldn't safely present to consumers in america i wanted the brand made in america to me to mean something. that i left office they descended on president reagan while reagan and he agreed. to protect their rights they can take your selling. pesticides and pliable clothing
3:21 pm
and on prove or disprove drugs. to people overseas to serve the manufacturers to get rid of it and not to a big loss. for the 30 years after i left the white house the issue is still unresolved and our say that at this point they are powered employers all unscrupulous companies and their loggers. is even more powerful than it was when i was in the white house. when we speak of the circle poison we most often think of the danger to american consumers we think of foreign grown food senator leahy was the 1st elected official after president carter who tried to stop the 2nd poison by introducing 3 bills in
3:22 pm
1900. 12 when i 1st suggested we have a lot of pushback. by lobbyists in the senate. we had the people in the senate who realized that it was important to stop to circle poison and we passed. a once it got to the house representatives was his frame to work law and order. and they were able to stop it from being in the final we tried mightily we work on saturdays weekends everything else. on the bill but could not get that part through. there are very powerful interests to make a lot of money by selling things they know are contaminated and the fact that we might be able to make money and create a few jobs here and poison people in other countries where there's a bet as best us or lead paint or something we shouldn't do that.
3:23 pm
it's rumor you senator. you're the lead op that allows all your members to be able to say i fully agree with you or my god what you talkin about that's correct during that. thank you mr chairman senator lugar i would like to. welcome the other 6 exact senior executives of n.a.c. a member companies to join me on this panel today. one of senator leahy's main opponents to the bill was cheever in midst of room has represented the pesticide industry in washington for nearly 3 decades dance rhythms in our argument in 1990 with senator leahy and others as it is today is that. we would rather that the united states be a principal source providing proper texan tools for farmers around the world and the incubator if you will for innovation for that kind of product development and the follow on stewardship that companies like those that are based here in the
3:24 pm
united states can and do provide over the years rather than having those needs served by product producers pesticide. pounds from places other than the united states. do you think you'd find everything safe or do you figure to find a whole lot more violations. perhaps a little of both i will tell you when the agency undertook its investigation last year we did find a number of violations. and filed a number of cases against companies it was the 1st time that we had really enforced j. vroom also had allies within the government linda fisher of the e.p.a. also oppose the circle of poison bell so take the case to linda fisher she was an e.p.a. official who argued against a circle of poison bill during the 1st bush administration after that she went to work for months on to actually as a lobbyist after that she went back into government back as a high official of the e.p.a. in the 2nd bush administration and since then she's become
3:25 pm
a high official at department is a perfect example of how the revolving door of officials moving in and out of government regulating pesticides and other toxics and then going to work for the people that produce. the big fix are the 6 agricultural companies that control upwards of 75 percent of the global has to sign trade and the big 6th i name her monsanto now they're syngenta. m.b.a.'s and the 6 global corporations really controlled in terms of food in farming. that. you know they need to leave. your feet to be.
3:26 pm
wanted ok bye. well moron if women i guess would not go many of them with ball but it gets a lot of offensive e-mails and said oh how did he come from. sunday in south moonshot just emphasize on not that i had an example but get a little put to me that can leave out the more they were asked what it was was the put them up and made a movie a card but i doubt that i'll cut out that about the. you know much more appropriate. he was for 9 june clinging to his chin now. where the real who uses the. good with good luck in the beautiful how are you out
3:27 pm
of baby opening this i'm a metaphor for your cover all the love evoking problem the above his mom worked her whole life in the fields and so before the pregnancy she was working in the fields and for the 1st few months. in marrying her the travel he had. to see a bill she said but. so he's been diagnosed with cirrhosis of children. with a man example the more difficult the rabble that was for the family i doubt we'd live in the interview been. a secret police a result of the east out and out when he was born a little bit swollen but it's gotten much awareness and you're going to see a good operation and mainly took a look at his liver and in june they said that he just has about 3 years to live and that there is nothing they can do anything you know he. told me.
3:28 pm
'd 'd it really is something that of course deeply affects me as a human mind all of us you know that especially as a nurse i feel you know a deep need to stop. and you know i'm stop this is that it's having on on children you know. all. the air. flight has a ways and experience the world like never before has are in ways going places
3:29 pm
together. a one time glamorous picture house for the rich and famous of hollywood in our shelters the poor and forgotten of downtown south. carving out a life in the ruins of the abandoned building residents reinvent the movies of themselves escaping their reality and reliving the former glory of cinema morocco. a witness documentary on al-jazeera. a survivor of the genocide there are people who beg me to kill them with them when they're suffering but i didn't have the heart to do this dedicated his life to searching the woods for bones of the victims of the srebrenica massacre. and here is to do all the you know hope of finally laying the past to rest and giving peace to the victims' families. justified to think i could bury him. on al-jazeera.
3:30 pm
hello i missed us here today in doha with the headlines on al-jazeera turkey's president rushed up to about 0 on his then the russian port city of sochi for talks with me a person has repeated his threat to restart the military operation against kurdish fighters and ne in syria that he desired discussing the turkish ceasefire which is due to expire in just a matter of alice meanwhile bashar al assad has called president out on a thief he made the remarks during a visit to areas of it in a province taken from attackers backed rebels by government forces protesters in lebanon are demanding more reforms despite the government of preventing sweeping economic measures all authorities appear to be tightening security as police and
3:31 pm
military dispense protesters trying to erect barricades our correspondents say in a call to has more from zouk mikhail just north of the capital. the crisis is far from over we are on the main highway that links the lebanese capital beirut to north of the country protesters are blocking the highway yes there are side roads that remain open for people to move from one area to another but it just makes it more difficult if you talk to people here they remain defiant they say we will stay here until the government falls the government's the presented a solution to the crisis. saying that we have a new economic plan but people here it's too late it's not enough we do not trust the ruling elite at least 5 civilians have been killed in yemen joining in as strike by the saudi u.a.e. coalition and struck a moving vehicle and kid tough districts that's in the northwestern province of sada 2 children and 2 women were among the dead the u.n. says ending the war as soon as possible is crucial the saudi u.a.e.
3:32 pm
coalition has been fighting for the rebels alongside yemen's government since 2015 and taliban fighters have killed at least 16 afghan police offices it happened in the district and province 3 fighters were also killed canada's justin trudeau has secured a 2nd term as prime minister but his liberal party hasn't won enough seats for a parliamentary majority that means trudeau will need to rely on the support of the new democratic party in order to push through legislation the main opposition conservative party picked up for its support fell. well those are the headlines to join me for more news here after part 2 of circle of poison stay with us on al-jazeera.
3:33 pm
when i step back and really think about the scope of what we've done it's been a giant terrible tragic experiment. that it's
3:34 pm
a very modern way to do farming and we've made poisons the measure of progress. even the other. thing you want to get on them. and. the. little one and. they are. enough can now put me on the arm when i also have. to hand them a monkey then i. don't want to be done with even if. you get in and get out of a hat on a. probably the most dramatic way to understand the difference between domestic regulation and the lack of
3:35 pm
regulation once you cross the border as it affects pesticide use and people is just south of the border in mexico take the sonora desert split down the middle by an arbitrary border between countries so on one side pesticides that can't be used are being used on the other side they are used and there's evidence of the are facts. in 1908 doctors allowed conducted a study of pesticide exposure in mexico she compared the children living in the pesticide intensive yaki valley to those in the non-exposed patel's. after playing catch with the children and observing them dropping raisins into a bottle cap found disturbing differences in hand eye coordination between the groups of children. she. looked that 4 and 5 year olds and 5 and 6 year olds and one of the things she asked them to do is drop picture of
3:36 pm
a person and found that the children in the non-exposed areas drew people just like i think any kid anywhere you could tell they were people drawn by very young children many of the children in the highly exposed areas to pesticides just to scrabble you couldn't even tell that they were people. in. the news like was it with this i guess if you're going from this into. group. of something many people is going to have this is just you know our. looking for memories of those things around us usually you will be me when i. am in the thank you. all for movie listening to be with you.
3:37 pm
because you. could hear. one of. the like well. because you. say what is that but a mystical. is. because some prove to us of them at the toxics. it's sort of a you know level you know visual earthly we're. a little bit and then there's a pool in my illustration you.
3:38 pm
one of the best examples of a place where people are chronically exposed to chemical pollution is in louisiana between baton rouge and new orleans along the mississippi where there's 150 industrial facilities all long that corridor. in fact the industry calls it the chemical corridor residents they have a different name for it or they call it cancer alley. in many communities especially here in louisiana you can look out of your bedroom window you're looking at a smokestack and you smell the toxic fumes on a daily basis we have lost historic african-american communities because of the toxic exposures from those companies warranting the relocation of those communities and the entire towns of these historic communities have been grazed and only thing
3:39 pm
you now see if there's any found that they once existed might be their own cemetery grounds while the facilities have gotten larger and expanded into those historic communities that once lived and thrive in this area. there's a culture in the state that really gives the industrial corporations running these facilities a blank check. they pay nothing in property taxes they get to do their campaign contributions and basically elect whoever is going to be in all of the legislative control of lawmaking in the state they have a lobby that denies and takes away rights of citizens in this state for health care for health monitoring in the event of a toxic exposure. so we're in a real sad situation in terms of the pallor that is industrial cooperations have in louisiana and companies like monsanto along with them. monsanto's a is like all big bag of come
3:40 pm
a coal company is highly profitable and highly influential in political circles a few years ago they completed a multi-day $100000000.00 expansion of the ground up plan for instance in cancer when we'd welcome our governor bobby jindal and our 1st lady so pretty agenda. governor jindal whose wife is a foreman one son 2 employee praised the expansion of the round up plant and 2010 every year since then this plant in cancer alley has had the most toxic releases in the entire state. is really important remember there's a real difference in any pesticide between is active ingredient which in the case of round up for example is go ifas 8 verses all the surfactants an urge to go into that for present when it's spread and to demonstrate this a researcher he had to ponds with frogs in them and in one pond he just put the active ingredient of round up to say
3:41 pm
a very little impact on the frogs in the next pond he put the whole formula devastation 8090 percent depending on the developmental stage of the frog of death in those frogs so that shows you the difference between just an active ingredient and the whole formula it turned out the surf acted that part of round up that makes it stick to the crop was so fatal. working with the other ingredients in in round so failed of us frogs so roundups legal by the way round up is in the band chemical so one thing that's important to consider is on some levels it doesn't matter whether an agricultural chemical has been banned or restricted very much yet because we simply don't know what the negative effects of most of these chemicals will be over time are not studied as complete compounds that are isolated narrow chemical tests that are performed on them of course they're not studied in human beings that would be unethical so essentially it's a big experiment and we just don't know whether it's regulated they're not
3:42 pm
shouldn't private us from speculating and also investigating what are the effects of these legal chemicals some of them may be as bad as the banned ones. the standard argument against. the health and environment and other regulations in the country or for export is that it's harmful to business which of course it is and this business can kill people freely a lot more profitable than if you have to put it into it do seem to look at the effects and people want to know and if you do peer harming people of this just a matter. of fact it's kind of interesting in this country that. the major
3:43 pm
industries like to lead as best as tobacco. chemical industry chips often succeeded for decades in the poisoning people we consciously. look at new carefully will that children are going to die of lead poisoning but you going to make profit of course but when you get to export it's a little. vicious because here what's happening of course is. that the domestic population has become organized enough and active enough so they're saying you can't feel us a so then the ideas if it will cool will kill people who are more vulnerable and that's what the export is but yes it's been for business and that it. what i meant i think jack asked them had mine done that in america a. bill that you know if implosion that out of.
3:44 pm
the last year the legislator got only $90000.00 in the national month i mean i don't but i will cain eco. nuts you know what just cheeky just a fun month for matching the much of the answer the mama cass and the a to modify my in a. video game i'll settle them all in mosul where the family me in the. grand the newness of going to get you know knowing the say. soon the sofa thank. you so if you're near the again you're on your way them and they're going to be looking to go get susannah for a slowdown in the sun though thank the media elite us see. us in it with them all
3:45 pm
you know the my company as a result the recent book why didn't them unity the super awesome he is it to supply us is that us is the one they're going come by their policy the idea that the procuring no i don't think secrets on film will get us to trust it us today i'm. the wind me you know this you need to put up a worked up on me when i see a muslim book and yet when you see me put my pharmacy on it when you know. nobody accept that lamont than me. and. i want be out of it and the 2nd fanatic then yeah . there with philo that i see now we have a real family who. go on through the idea him there be a burial any hope that him firm he he would never see the bay.
3:46 pm
when i say he's done it or not they. say look at me. i'm going to. make it your mother norm. that is actually on it on this yet then the a e can from a that any. many. meet that is not only you know. a took us a pass a missing. someone out another one of the month by month in a sickly body. only and only for mushroom. not only on our city like a hornet. a 2nd funnel for neither one of for me then for me i not all of the staff are not done by the doc and i mean that one in there for one moment and. you and she will this one ball
3:47 pm
game if i must say that i am but that company. must pass on a concept i know nothing other than by masterclasses your way mick it's ironic and i mean bass. residents of it using go reported cancer rates to severe that's were $41.00 times the national average in argentina. you heard him from any can i'm going to source you on the saw. on it though is when you have sent money you can send them all. the fish is better and there may be some to. come. your way i met through a cable where at the least that you both look aside the other thing then hit it.
3:48 pm
in you say that number will come out of the book and off we moaning trust it will not end once you. did. not alone as i am not an anomaly not anyone i somehow managed to sign all of you you know that any medical amount of addict you want to yeah see and honestly don't want to manage. c m and i support their life when i. can and as you can get any at that he called me when i get out of the hole last week. and i mean that we know daily if one of your at that time i met you not gonna lie or my medical center got to see me hook and i had a whole economy. despite these threats so fear and the mothers continued their fight they ultimately succeeded in getting a local ban on aerial pesticide spraying within 2500 meters of homes.
3:49 pm
about 2 years ago the prime minister of bhutan invited me to help a ton become 100 percent about it so what we've been doing in these 2 years is my team goes twice a year and works for the farms and the brittany's come and train at our farm and there are those where we practice and we go logical and without it with no chemicals and we have no pest enough it at all we have lots and lots of insects. to trans ambitious plan to make all local farms organic would make it the 1st country in the world to convert to a fully organic agricultural system and ban the sale of pesticides.
3:50 pm
or similar. it has been always very important because our country has very little land under cultivation and of the whole country we have only about it percent of the understood actually everybody and off that because of our limited human resources we only contributing to one percent of the land and to keep that percentage very low percentage of land cultivatable for a long time it is important for people to make sure that this is enough organic matter so that the soil doesn't degenerate. because generations this is the only the length that we have to farm on and on to use it up in one generation and not leave productive land for the next generation so it has always been a tradition that is taking cattle.
3:51 pm
