[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 211801, member: 97"] One of the main reasons is that it is something new- and scarey- so many thories and ways of transmission and no known cure.... With alcohol and tobacco you know the risks-- with BSE their is still too many questions- with few solid answers...And both countries governments USDA and CFIA have handled the situation poorly --openly allowing the science of short term economics to override the science of health and safety and the long term of the cattle industry....And now having many of there previous statements and actions coming back to haunt them..... I only hope that the prion infectivity hasn't entered our food supply and/or blood supply and that we don't begin seeing human cases in future years- it will devestate any cattle industry that is left.... As I typed this the news article on Canada's 6th cow was on Paul Harvey News on the radio...They made a big deal about the fact of the age of this cow and that it was born 3 years after the feed ban that was supposed to protect cattle from being infected...The final statement of the announcer filling in for Paul was that it made many wonder if feed companies or ranchers in Canada were cheating on the feedban!!!
