Of course, you never could take dead animals to the plant to be processed for meat- animal had to be alive. Majority of downers are physical injuries, mostly dairy cows, either in calving, or doing the "splits" on slick concrete. IMHO, its probably for the best to quit putting these animals into the food chain, once and for all- of course we don't want the sick ones, and even the injured ones become fevered after a couple of days, leading to other possible problems.

But here's a question- if they test downers for BSE, which they did in this case, what good does it do if they process and disperse the meat to the four winds before the test results come back? Isn't there an old saying about shutting barn doors that would be especially appropriate here?
