RE: [RC] OT - Mad Cow Disease in WA State - Mike Sofen
For all of you (humans) who eat beef, this may explain why you
"haven't quite been feeling yourself lately"... and it still doesn't
explain why Arabian horses act like mad cows when they don't even eat
meat... :-)
I remain confident that our country administrators know absolutely
nothing of the situation and how bad it might truly be (fyi - mad cow disease
does not suddenly "crop up" in one solitary animal in an entire country).
We will shortly see how powerful the US beef industry really
is...

Disease in WA State
Mad Cow Disease Suspected in U.S.
Cow Dec 23, 2003 4:47 pm US/Central WASHINGTON (AP) The first-ever U.S.
case of mad cow disease is suspected in a single cow in Washington state, but
the American food supply is safe, Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman said
Tuesday.
"We remain confident in the safety of our food supply," said
Veneman.
She told a news conference that a single Holstein cow that
was either sick or injured -- thus never destined for the U.S. food supply --
tested presumptively positive for the brain-wasting illness.
