Last I checked cattle were herbivores. At what point did some idiot decide it was okay to not only force cattle to be carnivores, but actually canibals?

I wondered too what genius came up with this idea of feeing animals to animals. From what I've read, it appears that it started back in the 1970s, when many people were looking for ways to reduce the amount of stuff being put into landfills. A lot of animal protein left over from the rendering process was being dumped like this.

It was thought then that the rendering process made these "leftover" proteins completely safe to feed to animals... so tests were done on feeding it to cattle. Like always that cheap solution looked atttractive.

For a good long time. But some holes in the research eventually came home to roost, as we now see.

Heavens forbid that those cheap Europeans would by american soybean meal. Prions(what cause BSE) are virtually indistructable. They are not killed by heat or any chemical. The best and surest way to get rid of prion is to put the carcass in a vat of boiling lye. The boiling lye breaks the proteins into the basic amino acids(what protein is made of).
