Mad Cow Disease Confirmed In California
New submitter wave9x writes "The United States Department of Agriculture confirmed today that the nation's fourth case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, sometimes referred to as 'mad cow disease' was found in a dairy cow in California. The animal has been euthanized and the carcass is being being held under State authority at a rendering facility in California and will be destroyed."
are belong to us!
At least we can look forward to cheaper steaks for a while
your thin skin doesn't make me a troll
As a Wisconsinite who always snickers a little when I see one of those moronic "Happy Cows come from California" commercials on TV, I'll probably tear something from laughter the next time I see one. Cheese is part of our holy trinity: Beer, the Packers, and Cheese. Californian dairies probably aren't aware of the fact that a cow udder with one teat ain't an udder.
The infection attacks the brain. It's been decades since one of those was anywhere near D.C.
Quit poisoning the debate with facts.
never tell me the odds!
Never turn your back on one, that's for sure!
I had points, but I posted this comment and lost them.
Of course, the USDA has required insanely higher levels of testing for cows/beef from Canada.
Of coruse! - It's Canada! - We all know they're planning to invade the US and it would make their invasion much easier if everybody had CJD (the human variant of BSE, possibly caused by eating BSE-infected meat), right? - So remain vigilant when it comes to those pesky Canadians! :)
