Ooh! I just love a mad cow conspiracy!!! I guess the question would be - How did we supposedly infect these cows that were traced back to Canada?

According to Ward Churchill its a Rovian conspiracy being implemented by the FBI. Danny Rather has the documents to prove it. Howard the Deany is lining up his best screams.

maybe if they would stop bringing them up from Mexico without checking them they would not have that problem!

Yeah, and then we found a single mad cow of Canadian origin in Washington state, and the world did the same thing to us (shut off imports from the U.S.). U.S. producer prices dropped by one-third. Meanwhile, retail prices dropped very little, if at all. Go figure.

"In the wake of the Mad Cow disease scare, soy products have benefited from increased demand in affluent countries for meat from cows that are fed soy meal, rather than animal-based feed." (CorpWatch, Dec. 16. 2004).

I was under the impression that the U.S. had outlawed animal-based feed for cattle for quite a while. It is the only known transmission mechanism for BSE.

"Environmental activist Robert Kennedy Jr., who publicly vowed to rid the world of pork products in 2003, said that beef and chicken were next on his hit list.

CNN founder Ted Turner owns the largest buffalo ranch in the world and restaurants where buffalo is King of Meat. Turner is not the only environmentalist looking at buffalo as a replacement for politically incorrect-beef products."


I kept waiting for that "It's all Bush's fault." garbage and was really surprised to learn it'a all the leftist enviro- wackos fault. Maybe I could buy into this conspiracy after all. lol
