On this day in 1879.
The scholar inclined to believe that Sheridan was responsible for the slaughter ought not be deterred by a letter that he wrote on 31 October 1879 to Adjutant General Edward D. Townsend. In that letter, Sheridan did indeed express his belief that the "wholesale slaughter of the buffalo should be stopped." But the killing to which Sheridan objected was taking place, General Alfred Terry had assured him, on the Great Sioux Reservation itself. Sheridan opposed that destruction because the reservation was off limits to unauthorized whites and, more importantly, because the buffalo there helped to feed and thus pacify hungry Indians, who were inadequately supplied with food by the federal government.

 National Bison Association
NBA Files Additional Mislabeling Complaint with FDA, FSIS
he National Bison Association this week sent additional material to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) top support the association's request that immediate action be taken to stop water buffalo meat from being labeled simply as "buffalo" on retail meat packages.
The supplemental complaint was filed this week after the NBA received photos of products in the retail meat case at a Weis Market retail store in Pennsylvania. Weis is an East Cost retail chain with more than 200 stores.
The photos show two products packaged under the Weis "Naturals" label. One item is Bison Natural Steaks, which is accurately labeled, and which carries the USDA FSIS mark of voluntary inspection. The other product, with a very similar label, is identified only as "Ground Buffalo," can carries no mark of inspection.
"This is clear evidence of the intent to mislead consumers with deceptive labeling, and we urge that FDA take prompt action to stop this practice," wrote Dave Carter, NBA executive director.
USDA, FDA Tackle Labeling Challenges at Cell-Based Meat Meeting
(From Meatingplace.com)
WASHINGTON -- The conversation about cell-based meats shifted from food safety and jurisdiction to the issue of labeling Wednesday at the USDA/FDA Joint Public Meeting on the Use of Cell Culture Technology to Develop Products Derived from Livestock and Poultry.
USDA and FDA officials said truthfulness and transparency in labeling were top of mind as the agencies gather comments on how to best label cell-based meat and poultry products.
"Today's focus is ... on labeling of cell-cultured meat and poultry products and making sure these products are identified according to customer expectations," said Paul Kiecker, Acting FSIS Administrator, "and that the label doesn't [present] any type of advantage or disadvantage with other products that might be in competition with them."
Throughout the final day of the meeting, FDA and USDA labeling experts presented overviews detailing how each agency currently approaches labeling requirements for regulated food products, including statement of identity, net quantity of contents, and ingredient list content and order.
