From recent news it seems like the big boys dont have a problem with turning sick cows into hamburger.
Whats the difference?

Don't try to blame the US beef growers for one sick Canadian milk cow. The RAT media is already doing that for you.

This was surprising to me as well. I was unaware that the FDA routinely allowed sick cattle to be butchered for human consumption. Seems like a poor public health practice to me.

I can only guess that there are few known diseases that can be transmitted from beef to humans through cooked meat.

As a hunter, I would never eat a sick animal. Why take the risk of contracting a disease.

One should be especially wary of a known rabies carrier like a raccoon.
