I hate to write this blog post with a bit of a smile— after all, women in the workplace suffered at the hands of this heartless and overpaid activist — however, you know what they say about karma…and I must say, on behalf of all of us in the beef industry, good bye and good riddance, Wayne. – Beef Magazine
