	New mad cow woes
		Mad cow disease is one of several fatal brain diseases called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, or TSEs.
		On Jan. 31., after the detection of 25 mad cows, Germany announced plans to slaughter and destroy 400,000 elderly cows, which, due to the long incubation period, are most prone to the disease.
		Long after cows began going mad and dying of a brain-destroying disease, the government allowed their byproducts to be fed to other cows.

		Long before mad cow was discovered, humans were known to suffer Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease at a rate of one per million.
		Nearly 200,000 British cows were found to have been infected, and 4.5 million were slaughtered as a precaution--because the disease incubates slowly and is hard to detect.
		It's possible, therefore, that we are already returning to a world in which mad cow may be a rare and spontaneous disease--and, importantly, not one spread by infection.

		The infectious theory of Mad Cow disease not only resulted in the possibly unnecessary destruction of hundreds of thousands of cows, but it diverted attention from other causes of health problems facing livestock and wildlife.
		The dominant belief is that Mad Cow disease (also known as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy or BSE) and the related diseases Scrapie in Sheep and vCJD (variant Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease) in humans are caused by a prion, a mutant protein.
		Cows were supposedly infected by feeding on supplements containing the brains of sheep with Scrapie, yet Shetland Islanders had been eating potted sheep brains for centuries without similar diseases occurring.

	Mad Cow Disease - Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy: BSE Facts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Recent news of a second possible case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) -- popularly known as "mad cow disease" -- in the U.S. proved to be a false alarm when the tests came back negative.
		'Bovine' refers to cows; 'Spongiform' describes the 'sponge-like' effect of the disease on cells; and 'Encephalopathy' is used to describe diseases of the brain.
		While members of the media often use the term "mad cow disease", the correct name is Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, or BSE for short.

	Mad Cows, Sane Cats: Making Sense of the 'Species Barrier'
		Answers matter because regulations in United States intended to keep mad cow disease out of the country and to control related prion disorders like chronic wasting disease in deer and elk are based on fully understanding the biology of species barriers.
		In the wake of mad cow disease, this practice of cross-species feeding is banned in Britain and many European countries.
		But because mad cow disease had not shown up in North America until last week, when a cow in Alberta, Canada, was found to have been infected, regulators here say that cross contamination is an unlikely threat.

		But in May 2003, veterinary officials in Alberta confirmed that a sick cow sent to a slaughterhouse in January of that year had been inspected, found to be substandard, and removed so that it would not end up as food for humans or other animals.
		In an investigation into the source of the infection, 1,400 cows were slaughtered and tested for the disease.
		DNA evidence later revealed that the cow was born in Canada, and the U.S. kept its border shut to live Canadian cattle.

		Those who read this book when it first appeared in 1997 were shocked but not surprised on December 23, 2003, when the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture announced that mad cow disease had been found in America.
		Six years earlier, Stauber and Rampton warned in Mad Cow USA that government and industry in the US had failed to take the necessary steps to prevent this bizarre and deadly dementia disease from spreading through contaminated feed into livestock and humans.
		The feeding of rendered slaughterhouse waste to livestock, which spreads mad cow disease and created an epidemic in England, continues to be both legal and widespread in the United States.

		But just a couple of days ago I read about Mad Max, the domestic cat that was diagnosed with a feline version of Mad Cow a few years ago in Great Britain.
		Knowing that the beef industry annually slaughters hundreds of thousands of "down cows" every year in the US, and that those carcasses are, supposidly, designated for the non-human food chain (ie pet food), I have again become suspicious.
		Some veterinarians believe the actual number of cats who died from feline spongiform encephalopathy (the feline variant of mad cow disease) is far greater.

		Unlike many other animal diseases, mad cow disease is not contagious; rather it originates from the ingestion of contaminated animal byproducts.
		Fortunately, mad cow disease infectivity is confined to the brain and central nervous system in cattle, not the red meat, which greatly limits the public health risk in the United States.
		The British were widely criticized for not taking quick, decisive action with their mad cow disease outbreak that began in the mid-1980s.

		His views are not mainstream because he sees an "intervening variable" of chemicals between the healthy cow and the mad cow.
		A big issue today is whether the mad cow disease could cross the species barrier and be transmitted to humans or between other animal species.
		With respect to humans, there is a disease known as "CJD" which resembles Mad Cow Disease in that it has a long incubation period and when a fatality is autopsied, the human brain shows minuscule holes as does the cow's.

		The link between mad cow disease and human CJD is only beginning to be understood.
		The mad cow outbreak may have started with the modern practice of cooking up dead sheep and using them as a cheap protein supplement in cattle feed.
		When that cow died, it too was sent to a rendering plant and turned into feed, thus spreading the disease.

		It was private mad cow testing that eventually revealed the presence of the disease in Germany.
		Instead, we now have mad cow disease in North America, calves in the United States and Canada weaned on cattle blood, and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) quietly reviewing the mysterious deaths of young Americans from sporadic CJD to see if the cause of death might be eating U.S. mad cows.
		With a mad cow-type disease infecting U.S. deer, called chronic wasting disease, and U.S. sheep long infected with scrapie (the ovine form of mad cow disease), suspicions are growing that these diseases might be moving into the human populations.

		He states that cows are infected with a bacteria that is in the milk and beef and that it is the same bacteria that is found in Crohn's disease in children and adults and is not killed by current pasteurization temperatures.
		The rendering process for turning a cow carcass into food pellets for other cows to eat does not kill all the pathogens and the disease is then passed on to the next herd of cows.
		Cows with leukemia, cancer and other illnesses are milked until their milk production decreases to far, which then the cow is culled from the herd and rendered into feed for other cows.

		The virus in question causes bovine spongiform encephelopathy (BSE), a disease that has been nicknamed "mad cow disease" by the British press, a tag taken up elsewhere because it so aptly describes the stumbling gait, aggressive behavior, and degenerative brain disease that ultimately claims the afflicted cows' lives.
		One is the death of four British dairy farmers from the relatively rare, but pathogenically similar, CJD (a fatal disease of the central nervous system, marked by motion disorders, aphasia and ultimately death), an event which is a "statistical improbability," according to Sheila Gore of the Medical Research Council's biostatistics unit.
		During the mid-1980s in Wisconsin, some cows that died before slaughter were fed to a population of mink, which subsequently developed the mink version of spongiform brain disease.

		In order to guarantee that victory, Blair proclaimed the epidemic over early in May. But the Blair government has been charged with "concealing the fact that it is now killing more animals than at the height of the foot-and-mouth crisis two months ago" and is now expected to step up the scale of the slaughter.
		Prior to that February date, Mad Cow disease (variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease) had been hogging all the publicity.
		Mad Cow is transmitted by consuming infected meat, and, when contracted, is invariably fatal to humans and animals alike, after a protracted, horrible neurological illness.

		Kent, England (SatireWire.com) — In another blow to the cellular industry, British scientists studying Mad Cow disease claim to have discovered the source of the mysterious affliction after catching a pair of Friesian Holsteins chatting away on mobile phones, which also have been linked to eye cancer and brain dysfunction.
		Prior to the discovery, scientists had theorized that Mad Cow, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy, was caused by mutated proteins called prions, or possibly by widespread tobacco use.
		Tobacco was ruled out as a suspect last year, however, after a study found that while cigarette smoking among cows had dropped 45 percent from 1995 to 2000, incidents of BSE had recently increased.

		The epidemic of "mad cow disease" in Britain caused great economic damage, a political crisis, and general panic when it was discovered that humans were apparently acquiring a fatal neurological malady called Creutzfeld-Jacob syndrome from eating the meat of cattle infected by feed containing protein from carcasses of sheep suffering from a disease called scrapie.
		Rendering is cow cannibalism, as it were, which is believed to have amplified the incidence of BSE in Britain, just as cannibalism amplified kuru in New Guinea.
		Mad Cow USA warned that the meat industry and the government were failing to take the necessary steps to prevent the disease here, and using falsehoods and PR to cover-up their failings.
