Trade/Mad Cow
Apr 26 2007, 3:30 PM EDT Very interesting topic I believe that the U.S. is a major exporter of agriculture and I assume meats as well. It will probably take massive deaths before the U.S. puts up any trade regulations. I read one time that mad cow disease acts specifically on the brain and does not act immediately but has a long duration. Farmers unintentionally spread the disease by feeding one animal the body parts of another. (i.e. sheep parts to cows). The USDA banned the use of brain and spine parts being used in feed. Very scary! Do you find this valuable? |
