Mad Cow in US sheep--NOT



The sheep in VT that were seized by the USDA do not have BSE. They are 
suspected of having a different TSE.  (transmissible spongiform 
encephalopathy).They have been tested with 3 different tests, two of which 
where negative.

BTW, there is a TSE of sheep well recognized in the US (scrapie).
There is also a TSE found in elk.
The press is, IMHO, being sloppy with terminology and creating undue hysteria.
