What Happened To The Mad Cow Scare?, Did they get happy all of a sudden

So what happened? That story got crushed a little too quickly. Is everything suddenly ok? They were able to account for 10 cows out of 10 million. Thems is some smart cowboys. Whats the deal, really..

It was the Darn media over blowing the whole situation... Oh do I hate all the media world wide. Its anything for the story and only report the negative things, never the positive.

In Central Missouri there was a report today of some cows leaving an overturned overtruck. It was reported that the cows werent mad, just a little disgruntled for having to walk!

Oh my God!!! They lost their gruntles in the accident???!!!

How nice for you guys. We still get daily reports of how everything is our fault.

Didn't they dispose of the diseased cows?
They had something about it on CNN the other night.

As I understand it, Dairy Cow Union representatives have announced that no more cows would be mad, if the dairy farmers would simply quit putting those cold milkers on the cows' udders at 4:30 every morning. They chap. The beef cattle aren't really mad, just on a sympathy strike with the dairy contingent.

Actually on a serious note.. Dairymen did slaughter many herds of cattle, and they are using pressure cookers as a more safe and more environmental freindly way of preventing the spread and hazards.

you's only had that now? that's a very old story over here *yawns*

Yes, and I hope our version doesn't get anywhere near as bad as the UK. Annabelle, killing the infected cows is only the begining. You have to destroy any cattle the infected cows came in contact with, and dispose of all the feed. BSE can be carried through the mud, so a farmer who's been to the infected farm can bring BSE home on his boots. Scary, isn't it.

Here in Alberta, we had to cull thousands of cows, wether they were infected or not, simply to make the countries we export to happy. And now the border's closed again.

I hope for yous as well, it was pretty bad here. And 2 years ago we had Maul- und Klauenseuche (another deadly desease) which spread damn fast, alot of sheep, cows & pigs had to be disposed of

Sorry what does cull mean?


Perckery yes they lost their gruntles

Old Raven What are you raving about? what do you mean?

Yep AndyLucy I'd be real mad too.

Not much worry out here in the kingdom of LaLa.
those who are concerned are going to Kosher buchers to get their meats.
And the fast food places are now on a low-carb kick and selling burgers in lettuce raps.

*points out that oldie's canadian*

I personally dispose of quite a lot of beef (burp!). Usually in the form of rib-eye steaks.

While the disease is serious, the preventative measures are straight-forward. The dangers that still exist in eating beef occur on the drive to the store to buy it! You might be hit by a meteor!
