Mad Cow

Just wanted to say that mad cow disease can be totally prevented. Feeding bone mill and feather mill and tankage to cattle (strict vegetarians) is what causes it in the beginning. There is no reason to be feeding this stuff to cattle. Some may be doing it because it is cheap feed. There is no reason in the world why this stuff can't be fed to hogs. They are not vegetarians and it would be harmless to them. Looks like they might be able to trace the Mad Cow back to Canada. Anyways, anybody that is laughing should in reality take a serious look. If we had a big and real outbreak here in the U.S. the beef industry would likely see devistating loses and a big dent into our economy. The beef industry was doing real well based on exports (good for economy), but even this deal as small as it was has thrown a monkey wrench into that. Well anyways, just seen alot of Mad Cow jokes on here (I know they were all in good humor) but I just wanted to put a serious post out here on the line. If you are feeding tankage to cattle, please stop. Just my two cents worth.
