I give up. Between Flounder,R2, bse-tester, Mike, Porker , OT and Sandhusker you have all managed to convince me of a few things.........
#1- All beef from any BSE positive country should be considered tainted.
#2- SRM removal is a joke.
#3- vCJD is definitely caused by eating beef.
#4- The world is set to see an epidemic of vCJD(because of all the tainted beef).
#5- "BSE infectivity" can't help but be in the muscle tissue of cattle.(the fact that there is no evidence of this matters not).
Because of these 5 points,and others, I have devised a 100 day plan to force the CFIA and USDA(as the US is BSE positive as well) to mandate 100% BSE testing, in order to assure food safety, or completely eliminate this dangerous and deadly food source we call beef, in North America.
This 100 day plan is quite simple...... First thing tomorrow morning, go out and shoot 1% of your cattle.Incinerate them. Then tell everyone you know to stop buying and consuming beef as it will probably kill them. Purchase an ad in the "Washington Post", if you like.
Then call up the CFIA or USDA and tell them what you have done. Explain to them that if they don't implement mandatory testing of all cattle(using Ron's unvalidated test of course) you are going to destroy another 1% of your herd again the next day. If they haven't mandated 100% testing by the next morning, go out and destroy another 1% of your herd......and so on and so on..... either way, within 100 days we will either have 100% BSE testing in order to assure food safety or this deadly beef stuff will no longer exist. If every cattle producer does it it will work. It is the only responsible thing to do.
Who is with me???? Oldtimer??? Mike??? Sandhusker???? C'mon fellas lets see some "industry committment"!!!!
