Confirmed Case of Mad Cow Disease in Canada 2-28-08
Another case of mad cow disease has been confirmed in Canada. This is the
twelfth case of the disease in the country since its discovery in 2003.
The animal is a six-year-old cow from Alberta, born after the implementation of
Canada’s feed ban in 1997. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said no part of
the cow’s carcass entered the human food or animal feed chains.
“Any case of BCE is unwelcome, but on the other hand it is recognized worldwide
that there were a small number of animals that were born after the
implementation of the feed ban that reflect some residual or contaminated feed
in the system,” Canadian Food Inspection Agency senior veterinarian George
Luterbach said.
U.S. Department of Agriculture Deputy Secretary Chuck Conner said Canada’s
latest case would not affect trade relations with the U.S. ”This is no cause for
concern,” he said.
There have been three known cases of the disease known as bovine spongiform
encephalopathy in the U.S. One of the diseased cows, which originated in Canada,
caused more than 24 nations to suspended beef imports from the U.S. in December
2003.
Eating meat products with infected tissue is linked to a rare, fatal illness,
variant Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, which has killed more than 150 people
worldwide, most of them in Britain.

Comment:
We're in the U.S. this doesn't effect us right? Wrong. Do you honestly think we buy ground beef in chubs from allover the world. And we buy cows from all allover the world. Do you honestly think there is no chance diseased cows or meat don't cross the border? I wouldn't chance it. Try Blackwing Meats!
