Alabama Cow Tests Positive for Disease

By LIBBY QUAID, AP Food and Farm Writer 5 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - A cow in Alabama has tested positive for mad cow disease, the Agriculture Department said Monday, confirming the third U.S. case of the brain-wasting ailment. The cow did not enter the food supply for people or animals, officials said. The animal, unable to walk, was killed by a local veterinarian and buried on the farm.

"We remain very confident in the safety of U.S. beef," said the department's chief veterinarian, John Clifford.

1. He probably was eating food from infested poultry or pork carriers!

which isn't regulated here and in Canada like it is in Europe or in Japan! This is why we NEED to get some intelligence in keeping Mad Cow from getting into their food supply. We cannot continue to allow food corporations to dictate how we write our laws!
