just heard this on the local news (we're so close to the Canadian border here, Canadian news is local news), but here's a
link.
any ideas how on earth Mad Cow Disease migrated across the Atlantic to Canada? apparently the only other North American case of the disease was in
1993, in a cow that was born in the UK. it's not transmissible between live animals, though, so hopefully it has been contained.
I only hope that the Canadians have learnt from the many mistakes the British made when dealing with BSE.
Of course, there are trade advantages very often in these "bans": ask the French.
Hey MC.....BSE is transmissable through live animals...thats how it passes through the livestock!
Estragon....agree with you on the mess the goverment made with the outbreak....if they had been willing to try the innoculations then they may have
saved some of the cattle and discovered that doing it this way was cheaper and more practical as they could have taken details and used it for
research!!!
Look very carefully at the data, Gryffen: there is evidence but nothing remotely conclusive.
You'll recall the numb silence when a vegetarian expired. This is villainy and the exploitation of ignorance in roughly equal proportions.
I remember pretty well the chaos that the MCD outbreak caused in the countryside.....i had to work out there sometimes with rubber boots and a big pot
of strong disinfectant on the back of the rig!!!
We'll find out the outcome when the lab results come back...lets just hope this is a singular case!

really? thanks! I know absolutely nothing about cattle except that they make beef and milk. I was just going off the information in the article I read
that said it couldn't be passsed from live animal to live animal. so much for fact checking in the media.
And -apart from the fact that every page should have "We however entirely sc**wed everything up" emblazoned in red at the top -
this is as good as you'll get on BSE: www.food.gov.uk...
Damn. BSE seems so long ago to me. We look to have it under control.
Things got so bad that people were scared to eat burgers. It was much worse than foot and mouth.
The government needs to either put money into researching the links between Creuzfeldt Jacobs and BSE or come clean on what they already know.
