I think she is giving a bad name to those truly affected by Mad Cow disease, I am sure she will blame Paul Martin  :D

Gents,

Thanks much for the info. It brought the scope of the problem into much better focus. It would be nice if they had more info on it particularly on blocking transmission to other cattle and people as well. Nasty stuff, I hope they get a handle on it soon.

Make sure your beef is safe by testing:

One can't be too careful.

It seems a few US based gloaters might have to eat their words.

But at least that will be safer than eating US beef. Nasty business.

Mad Cow Sparks Beef Bans, Shares Drop  

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The fallout from the first case of mad cow disease in the United States widened on Wednesday as more countries banned the import of U.S. beef and cattle and investors sold off shares in restaurants such as McDonald's Corp. that feature beef on their menus.

I would have to go and search. I don't remember who in particular but it was there. I doubt I'll have time in the next week to bother -  it was a long while ago.

Another reason to destroy the herds is the usage of animal waste and byproducts to make feed. Yes, cows are cannibals. It's not by their choice, however. Blood and bone meal are ingredients in many feeds designed to boost mass that are given in feedlots.

All I can say is I'm VERY glad I sold my cattle 2 months ago when the market was at an unheardof high price.
