Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what I have ascertained from various reports:
1) A cow is slaughtered en masse, regardless of its apparently obvious physical condition.
2) Therefore, the suspected carcass has already been processed (up to and including consumer purchase) by the time the test results show up.
3) All slaughter tools have the potential of becoming infected if they have come into contact with said cow.
4) We have to depend on human-generated traceability records to show the cycle of disperement.
There is something wrong with how the whole thing handled.
BTW, I know it won't make anyone feel better, but the videos of the mad cow are stock foreign footage, I think.
