Guest guest Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 U.S. finds third possible BSE case Last Updated Wed, 27 Jul 2005 15:35:45 EDT CBC News The United States is looking into a possible third case of mad cow disease, the country's agriculture department says. INDEPTH: Mad Cow Disease (CP file photo) The U.S. Department of Agriculture is conducting further tests on the animal, said the department's chief veterinarian, John Clifford. Clifford said the cow was at least 12 years old and died of complications during calving on the farm where it lived. He wouldn't give the farm's location. " It is important to note that this animal poses no threat to the human food supply, because it did not enter the human or animal food chains, " Clifford told the Associated Press. Two other cases of the disease, properly known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), have been found in the United States. " God was my co-pilot, but we crashed in the Andes and I had to eat him. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Exactly what we were just discussing. AND exactly what was this cow doing for 12 years? Ah, wouldn't be producing babies that did go into the food chain, now would it?

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 In the UK the powers that be reckoned it was alright to eat cows under 30 months old, without any chance of getting BSE! But there is lots of misinformation given out daily anyway. Just as well we don't eat cows, I reckon. Jo , " Lynda " <lurine@s...> wrote: > Exactly what we were just discussing.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 My daughter and her fiance managed a 600 acre preserve down in the Benicia area. Each of these preserves has ponds, so the different places aren't known by name but rather by pond number. At anyrate, the guy that owned pond #5's wife died two or three years ago from Mad Cow. They tried to tell them that she got it when they were traveling in South America. He told them they never ate beef when they traveled, only chicken and seafood. The feds told him they must have forgotten eating it. There have been other cases in the U.S. but the info given out is that they traveled out of the country and that is where they got it. Anyone buying that? If so, I've got some ocean front property in Arizona that I'd like to sell!
