Dr. Linda A. Detwiler graduated in 1980 from the Delaware Valley College of Science and Agriculture, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Dairy Science. In 1984 she received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. From 1996 to 2002, Dr. Detwiler served as the Senior Staff Veterinarian of the Emergency Programs Staff for the US Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS). There, she coordinated APHIS surveillance, prevention, and education activities for BSE. She also coordinated the development of a national BSE response plan. From 2002 to 2003 Dr. Detwiler was the Veterinarian in Charge of APHIS’s Veterinary Services, where she oversaw all Veterinary Service programs in the state of New Jersey.

Dr. Detwiler currently works for the the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services (VS) which recognizes that new and emerging disease pathogens—some of which might be zoonotic or exotic continue to threaten U.S. animal health. These pathogens could pose risks in the form of agroterroism, bioterroism and environmental safety and food safety problems that also can put the well-being of citizens in the United States and around the world at risk. As these threats grow and diversify, there is an increasing demand for veterinarians in the field of public practice and food supply veterinary medicine. In response to these challenges, APHIS–VS has embarked on a partnership with Mississippi State University to provide experiential learning opportunities for students during summers, breaks and open rotations. Dr. Linda Detwiler, from the Department of Pathobiology and Population Medicine, Mississippi State University leads the program, coordinates the externship program for veterinary students, advertises internships and jobs, hosts a government career symposium at the Student American Veterinary Medical Association (SAVMA) and develops outreach materials for the program.

This woman used false data to support her claims that some Vermont sheep harbored "mad cow" disease solely in order to further her career. She destroyed a family's livelihood with no conscious and no apologies. If she doesn't have a basic understanding of how to use data not just manipulate it to her own ends, she has no right to give a talk in a "public health interest" forum.

Shame on you for even considering a monster like this as a speaker. What in god's name were you thinking to foist her off on the public as some kind of beacon of integrity? Do your homework before you engage another charlatan who is nothing more than a Nazi SS!

Hey Linda, tell us again why you killed the Faillace sheep after spending $1 million in tax dollars on a stake out of the family first? And why did you hide the Mad Cow test results on them for 8 years until a court order forced you to release them? Because they tested negative, that's why. You did it to fake a crises, then tried to look like a hero swooping in, and destroyed a good family's business in the process.

Put Linda Detwiler in prison!! She used her authority at USDA to murder the family farm. She was paid off no doubt and needs to be in prison "the rest of her life!!". She knows it.

This woman , Linda Detweiler should have her Doctorate removed. That you asked her to speak to anyone should be considered a terrible idea by anyone. Once a liar, always a liar!

I just read "Mad Sheep." Everyone should read it. Linda Detwiler was a the heart of so many lies, cover-ups and just plain criminal conduct that it boggles the mind. For our justice system not to see through the heavy-handedness of the USDA, the cattle industry and all the politicians (up to the President) is shameful. Detwiler and so many others should not be able to work with animals, let alone be representatives for the people. We are in ugly times. Thank you, Faillace family for continuing to do what is good and right for people and the environment.

Death is the only fitting sentence for the greedy elite. It's a sad day when all you have left to speak at your events are the "NAZI" scum who are embedded in every department of government in this country. Pitchforks instead of Picket signs!

Always remember there are two sides to every story. I'm sure there was an issue that must have prompted this investigation.

So many innocent animals perished to satisfy the massive ego of this 'woman' who is nothing more than a USDA terrorist and shill for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. She should not even be a DVM, she should just don a white hooded sheet and join the other terrorists that run this country.

This women is not worthy of a doctorate from any school and should be sent to prison asap. I am disgusted with what I have read about her and her lies which she tried to hide like a true Democrat. Get RID of Linda Detwiler.
