You wouldn't call one cow an outbreak? Well, I guess you don't represent
the more than 2 dozen countries that are now refusing to import meat from
the USA. Don't forget, every cow in the country is not tested, only a
fraction.


What I found interesting, and rather scary, is that instead of testing food
that is fed cattle to make sure that bonemeal and other animal products are not
in it, they are testing only the suppliers' documentation (their records).
They really need to test the feed, not just look at records.

Were you the person that thinks "downer" cows are only used for pet and
livestock food? They are dragged to the slaughterhouse together with the
healthy cattle and prepared for our own markets.


Hi Barb,
Scary, isn't it?
BTW, can you cut and paste who you're replying to so I can tell whose post it
was? Thanks :)

only used for pet and livestock food, guess again. They are used the same
as healthy cows, for human food.

Today is not your day.
Tomorrow doesn't look good either.

LOL. I'm a Republican, not a leftist!!!

I know the story that the meat prices were jacked up because so many people
went on the lo-carb diet. That's the meat industry's story. How many
people do you know that are on that diet?

No sane person would think that one of anything is an "outbreak".
