The man said that the two are not linked and never had been linked.
The man's name is Floyd Gabler, Deputy Undersecretary for Farm and Foreign Agriculture at the USDA. He stated that getting the Japan market back was in no way tied to the opening of the Canadian border to live cattle. They were two seperate issues.

So, if that's the case then obviously the Japanese see this continent as two separate cases. The US's one case and then the three of Canada's.
If they saw them as being different they would also discount the case in the US as being Canada's and be done with it!
Things that make you go Hmmmm!

Murgen, If you count the Washington cow, you have to count the 1993 cow imported from England that was in Canada and tested positive. You guys keep forgetting the one that probably got you in trouble to start with.

Sorry Mike, you're right, I did forget about all the cows that were imported into North America from the UK. In Canada we traced all those cows and slaughtered them, unfortunately one got into the feed system before the feed ban! Looking at the way this BSE occurs, it's probable that only one cow is infected per herd.
I wonder if all the cows imported from the UK at the same time into North america were found?
