THE MAD COW COVER-UP

Pressure is mounting for a federal investigation into a possible

second case of Mad Cow Disease in San Angelo, Texas. Two weeks ago,

a cow staggered and collapsed at a Lone Star Beef slaughterhouse,

and under federal law should have been tested for the deadly

disease. According to government and industry sources, a federal

inspector was in the process of taking a brain sample to test for

the disease but was ordered to stop by the regional headquarters of

the Texas Department of Agriculture. Instead, the cow was sent to a

rendering plant to be made into animal food. According to Felicia

Nestor, director of food safety at the Government Accountability

Project, there have been several recent instances where government

offices have attempted to keep inspectors from testing cows showing

symptoms of Mad Cow Disease.
