I'm not surprised anymore when I read these things."

    Who is behind "Activist Cash"?

    Don't get me wrong, it does look like the UCS is partisan. But it's not like the rebuttal is coming from a totally neutral voice, either.

  2. Re:and the Canadian Mad Cows are extremely Virulen by saskboy · · Score: 5, Informative

    There were under 800 cattle from mad cow affected countries imported into Canada before the importations were stopped. And the US imported over 1600 cattle from affected countries.

    Yet Canada has found 3, before they entered the human or animal food chains, and the US found one after it was partly processed. Tell us who is doing a better job of detecting mad cow in North America?
