Lauren?

I don't know how to cut and paste a post! Sorry. I think it was good old
Gaubster that thought downer cows are not put into our food supply.

No Barb, I never said any such thing. I don't have any experience in the
beef
industry and don't profess to. I'm simply stating that anybody freaking out
over this issue (especially as it pertains to cats) is either fear-mongering
because they have an agenda or they can't think for themselves as the risk
of
anybody's cat contracting this is almost nil.

-Okay, G, sorry. I don't remember, then, who felt downers weren't used for
food. It's obvious that you are taking this whole mad cow situation very
well. You can see by the many posts that it has a great many of us very
concerned. It is true that it's only one cow but unlike Japan, we don't
test every cow. If only 1 in a million gets vCJD that could be a tiny per
cent but for the millionth person that gets this horrendous disease it's 100
%.

Your opinions are yours but you have every right to state them and I
welcome them.

Barb
I can only please one person a day.
Today is not your day.
Tomorrow doesn't look good either.
