Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
Answering that particular question is like proving a negative. The fact is that we do not have a traceability system for dogs. We have a very good traceability system for bovines because of an overwhelming public health and animal health imperative many years ago. That is the truth of it. We do not have as good a system for other animals.
