http://www.drday.com/madcow.htm

Extractions: Mad Cow Disease is the common term for Bovine Spongiform Encepholopathy (BSE), a progressive neurological disorder of cattle which can be transmitted to other species, including humans. In humans, it is called Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, after the two doctors who first described the symptoms of the disease. The disease in cattle is called Bovine Spongiform Encepholopathy because this form of the disease occurs in cows (therefore, the term bovine), it causes a sponge-like destruction of the brain (therefore, the term spongiform encepholopathy - enceph means brain and pathy means pathology - meaning an abnormality).

Government officials announced that they have a plan, but it seems to be a public relations plan, not a plan to protect the public health. Newspapers report that meat from the cow, who was killed December 9, traveled through three processing plants before the problem was discovered 13 days later.

Free Vegetarian Starter Kit Meet Your Meat Popular Features SeaVegetariano.com Whether it strikes cattle or people, mad cow disease is always fatal. The disease eats holes in the brain. In humans, it initially causes memory loss and erratic behavior, and over a period of months, its victims gradually lose all ability to care for themselves or communicate, and eventually, they die. The dangerous practice of feeding sheep and even cattle to other cattle was not banned in the U.S. and Canada until 1997, and the U.S. government said that as recently as 2001, there was widespread violation of the feeding regulation. It is still legal to feed sheep and cattle to pigs and chickens, and pigs and chickens to one another (and cattle) as well, even though these practices have been banned in Europe and no one can be sure if this may prove deadly in the future as well.

Extractions: Real facts about mad cow disease, also known as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) , can be hard to find online. Many special interest groups stand to benefit by generating undue public alarm over mad cow disease. Despite the detection of a single case of mad cow in the United States, BSE does not present a significant public health risk for the American population. Through mad-cow-facts.com, the Center for Global Food Issues hopes to provide concerned consumers with credible information about mad cow disease, BSE and related variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) from recognized academic and industry experts. The Deparmtment of Agriculture (USDA) announced on March 15th that it would greatly increase its surveilance for BSE in American cattle. USDA intends to test more than 250,000 cattle under the new program, which will begin in June 2004. The plan is designed to detect an instance of BSE with a 99% confidence rate even if it only occurs in 1 out of every 10 million cattle.

Extractions: What if much of the science to date, focusing on contaminated meat, has been overly simplistic or even dead wrong? The immediate implication would be that we would have to rethink everything already done to fight the disease, both in Britain where it began, in Europe, where it has spread, and in other nations, including the United States, where concerns are mounting about its potential to be unleashed. Last week, in order to prevent the disease from contaminating the blood supply, the American Red Cross, in accepting the view that infectious beef is to blame, barred donations from anyone who consecutively spent three months in Britain and six months in Europe since 1980.

Jack's "Bugs In The News" - What The Heck Is Mad Cow Disease?
As of 2003, the spread of mad cow disease in Europe including, Great Britain, Ireland, The Netherlands, France, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Denmark and Portugal
http://people.ku.edu/~jbrown/madcow.html

Extractions: First Great Britain, then regions of Europe, then Canada and now, the United States. In December, 2003, the first case of bovine spongioform encephalopathy (BSE) was diagnosed in a dairy cow in Washington state. The disease is thought to be transmitted to cattle through the feeding of cattle with parts of other animals. The feeding of cattle with rendered meat and bone from other animals has been banned in the United States since 1997. There is a reported 99 percent compliance with this ban; however, it is now clear that 99 percent is not 100 percent - someone didn't get the message. As of 2003, the spread of mad cow disease in Europe - including, Great Britain, Ireland, The Netherlands, France, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Denmark and Portugal and the appearance of the variant form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) in humans in many of these nations, is continuing to cause great concern among officials in Europe, Canada and the United States. A few years ago the United States, in order to protect the nation's blood supply, banned blood obtained from any donor who lived in Great Britain or Ireland for six months between 1980 and 1996. These individuals are not allowed to be blood donors to the United States blood supply, for life. The issue has become even more of a concern as the spread of this disease occurs in Europe. As a consequence, the United States is considering extending the ban of donation of blood from individals who may have lived for a time in other European countries.

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. The carcass was, however, sent to a processing plant for rendering into oils. Its head was kept for testing. Samples were sent to the world testing laboratories in the U.K., which confirmed the case of mad cow.
