act animals apply clearly definition failure farm given happy hour hours law limit means primary reliance send time transport trucks understand virtually water whatsoever
Given the industry's reliance on trucks as the primary means of transporting farm animals, the USDA's failure to apply the Twenty-Eight Hour Law to trucks renders the act virtually useless, ...
