Greed...
Some industries, lobbyists, and Congressmen are so obsessed with protecting the status quo (this is mostly what lobbyists do unless they really feel lucky and then they try to change something in their favor) that they miss the big picture completely.
The Ackerman amendment regarding downer cows didn't need Congress to get through, as the executive branch implemented identical wording by order of the USDA. I bet it costs a LOT less to not use downer cows than it does to lose the Japanese and European beef markets. Too bad they didn't think of that when they were pinching pennies last year.
