To Whom It May Concern,
I would like to draw attention to the inaccuracy (lie) posted by Flounder and his link source.

The cow did not have BSE. That part of the story is WRONG. It is a LIE
The cow was down in the trailer, and was found to be overage by her teeth. She was euthanized.

That's the problem with wannabe news reporters like "Dr." "Scoop" Singletary (high-school dropout).
Real reporters usually check, and double-check, the facts and sources. :lol:

Subject: BSE article
Hi Terry, I saw you posted an article I wrote for CattleNetwork. As a reader pointed out, the veterinarian approved cattle over the age allowed by the U.S., but there was no sign of BSE found. I cited an article by Global Winnipeg which inaccurately reported the incident. I have updated the article, would you please update your blog?
Thank you,

Correction: Canadian vet fined after approving cows over age limit
Correction: It was inaccurately reported in a previous version of the story that the cattle approved for export were infected with BSE. The animals were only above the age allowed by the U.S.
A judge in Winnipeg fined a Manitoba veterinarian $80,000 for allowing cattle over the age allowed by the United States to be exported in 2009.
Dr. Fawcett George Taylor inspected cattle exported to the U.S. for three producers between February 2008 and August 2009. Taylor inspected a total of 163 cattle over the age of 30 months who were exporting to the U.S.
Taylor did not purposely approve the cattle for export, but a busy schedule enabled the oversight. He and the three cattle producers were charged in April 2010.
Global Winnipeg reports Taylor has worked at Brydges and Taylor Veterinary Clinic for 29 years.
Taylor apologized and is not allowed to inspect cattle anymore. He has nine months to pay the fine.

no signs of BSE found ???
that's a red herring Bret.
the facts still remain the same, you can't say they were infected with BSE, or were not infected with BSE, can you, since they were never tested.
the facts remain the same, chances are greater, since they were older cattle, cattle that were banned for a purpose, due to higher BSE risk factors, that some of these cattle were subclinical BSE cases.
FDA STATES ;
These high risk cattle materials are the brains and spinal cords from cattle 30 months of age and older. The 2008 rule also prohibits the use of entire carcass of cattle not inspected and passed for human consumption, unless the cattle are less than 30 months of age, or the brains and spinal cords have been removed.

Abstract
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a fatal neurodegenerative prion disease that mainly affects cattle. Transmission of BSE to humans caused a variant form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). Following infection the protease-resistant, disease-associated isoform of prion protein (PrPSc) accumulates in the central nervous system and in other tissues. Many countries have defined bovine tissues that may contain prions as specified risk materials (SRMs), which must not enter the human or animal food chains and therefore must be discarded. Ultrasensitive techniques such as the protein misfolding cyclic amplification (PMCA) have been developed to detect PrPSc when present in miniscule amounts that are not readily detected by other diagnostic methods such as immunohistochemistry or western blot. This study was conducted to determine when and where PrPSc can be found by PMCA in cattle orally challenged with BSE. A total of 48 different tissue samples from 4 orally BSE-infected cattle at clinical stages of disease were examined using a standardized PMCA protocol. The protocol used brain homogenate from bovine PrP transgenic mice (Tgbov XV) as substrate and three consecutive rounds of PMCA. Using this protocol PrPSc was found in brain, spinal cord, nerve ganglia, optic nerve, and Peyer's patches. We could confirm the presence of PrPSc in adrenal gland as well as in mesenteric lymph node – a finding, which was recently reported by another group. Interestingly, additional positive results were obtained for the first time in oesophagus, abomasum, rumen, and rectum of clinically affected cattle.

The present study demonstrated successful intraspecies transmission of H-type BSE to cattle and the distribution and immunolabeling patterns of PrPSc in the brain of the H-type BSE-challenged cattle. TSE agent virulence can be minimally defined by oral transmission of different TSE agents (C-type, L-type, and H-type BSE agents) [59]. Oral transmission studies with H-type BSEinfected cattle have been initiated and are underway to provide information regarding the extent of similarity in the immunohistochemical and molecular features before and after transmission.
In addition, the present data will support risk assessments in some peripheral tissues derived from cattle affected with H-type BSE.

Taken from above "the facts still remain the same, you can't say they were infected with BSE, or were not infected with BSE, can you, since they were never tested. "
That is like saying about what Flounder posts. " You can say Flounder is lieing, but you can't say Flounder isn't lieing, can you, since most of everything he posts is lies.' :roll:

Hard to say flounder/terry was lying when a major publication like Drovers- which is known to sleep with the NCBA folks were those that published it...
To me it makes me, since they are the ones that published it- to even question more the safety to the US beef product and herd because of these untested cattle being shipped south from a high disease area....
Too bad Canadians are afraid to label their product !!
