hybrids of those species taken by USDA during its March 17 and March 18, 2017, inspections of Animal Welfare Act (AWA) licensee Timothy L. Stark (32-C-0204) (Stark).

According to Stark, one of the cubs had a fifty percent chance of dying of complications resulting from the declawing procedure.

Mr. 10/31/2017 11/30/2017 Requesting information about the status of haggis, the Scottish national dish, in the USA. I'm not sure how familiar you will be with haggis, but it is a traditional Scottish food, usually made up of sheep's heart, liver and lungs, minced with onion, oatmeal, suet and

spices. It has been banned in the USA since 1971 as it can contain sheep's lungs, which are classed as not fit for human consumption. A ban on imports of Scottish beef and lamb has also been imposed, although I understand this is to be lifted. I would like to request results of any research or correspondence held by the USDA about the safety of haggis. I would also like to see any correspondence, or minutes of meetings, between the UK or Scottish government, where the subject of haggis, and its legal status in the USA, has been discussed. I would also like to see any correspondence with manufacturers of haggis
