Talk about worring about "the sky falling". Here is a disease that has never been found in one person in Canada or the U.S.A. One old cow out of how many millions raised has been found. One in each country. You would have to eat raw products. I don't know about you guys but eating raw beef brains doesn't sound too appealing verses a good beefsteak. Now we will have new laws to suppose to "protect" us from something that no one has ever gotten. What do you suppose will protect us more? The marketplace is what will do more. The industry will do everything possible to protect their customers. I for one will not hesitate to eat a good piece of canadian beef anytime anyplace. I hope our goverments will invest monies and time in something that can really hurt us like drunk drivers.

Ditto...
The news media has been showing pictures of an old milk cow from several years ago in England. That is BS.
This will most likely stop the use of butchering waste being used as protein in feed rations. Being many years removed from the feed lot this makes sense to me. Maybe if I had a lot full of feeders I'd not be happy with it. But to risk this kind of bad press is probably not worth it. It takes years to develop markets and one misinformed comment from the news or public person can destroy peoples businesses.
Look what happened to the apple growers several years back when one Hollywood dummy goes public with her uninformed OPINION.
Sorry for the rant. It does not belong in this forum or even on this website. I just grow weary of sensationalism about our food supply in this country.

Yeah and Canada said their cow came from the states. Blah blah blah. Who cares. We've got to deal with the problem and not point fingers.
The problem is feeding cattle by products of cow and sheep butcherings.

Oh yeah,
Read Goebbles Diaries if you want to see how propaganda works.
(Not saying he was right in what he wrote just showing you how an entire nation can be manipulated through news broadcasts no matter what the medium)

It's time for Dick to come out of the closet, PETA members show up in the funniest places. Don't they? He's trying to stir a cold fire again.

Why is somebody talking about mad cow disease on a walleye forum. Let's stick to fishing and leave the rest to the news sites.
Happy New Year

Bin Ladens in Toronto as well. It's American Propaganda until the DNA evidence comes back. The US beef industry is doing damage control. The one thing I still can't understand is with the industry in such bad shape and farmers getting nothing for their beef...why did my last TBone cost more than it did a year ago.
I think I have Mad Walleye Disease. Every weekend when I can't go fishing I get pretty Mad !

I'm surprised it took this long for the mad cow subject to come up on this board! Personally, I have Mad Minnesota Viking Disease!

Yah. I agree.
What has it got to do with anything, where the cow was. It has the disease now, where it is.
What next? Somebody will blame Canada for the Minnesota Vikings problems?
If being frustrated with the lack of time on the pond and the Vikings are diseases, then I am one sick person.
