More Canadian BSE

[gcreekrch]

I'm going to give a little history and then a suggestion.

In 2006 British Columbia slid in a rule that did away with farm slaughtering for resale.

There has never been a case of human sickness from farm slaughtered meat in BC

The rule was brought forward for reasons of "human safety". Supported by the "big boys".

The general public was not aware of the ramifications of this rule until they could not buy their beef,lamb pork, etc from the farmer who had sold them product for sometimes years.

When petitions regarding this rule were sent after the fact they were ignored as the rule was in and the packers were already reaping the benefits. Small as they are they are still benefits.

Had Joe Public known full extent of these rules they may have not come to pass. In fighting Govt. the producers missed out on their one ally... The consumer.


Now for my question.

In a roundabout manner, shouldn't the public be asking for BSE to be eliminated?

We cattlepeople don't seem to be getting anywhere by ourselves.
Polititians are worried about votes and $, not rights or wrongs

 

[Sandhusker]

Yes, the public should be demanding it. However, I'd like to point out that the public down here demanded COOL, and look at all the wailing and gnashing of teeth that brought from certain groups. If you're going to use the public, you'd better be prepared for what the public wants.

 

[gcreekrch]

Yes the public demanded to know where their food came from, but did they know the WHOLE story on the subject of NA beef.

What I'm trying to say is the public needs to hear the actual known truths about this subject, not biased arguements from groups, govts. or companies that have ulterior motives.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure if THEY will let US give the whole story unless each livestock producer takes it upon themself to pass the truth along.
That could be similar to driving weaner pigs with Jack Russells

 

[hypocritexposer]

How much Canadian beef makes it's way to Texas?

Why are they seeing a higher incidence rate of CJD?

"What I'm trying to say is the public needs to hear the actual known truths about this subject, not biased arguements from groups, govts. or companies that have ulterior motives.
"

ulterior motives Like TRADE?

The only government that's not admitting anything is the US government.

hypocrits, and their ranchers are the same, unless they speak out against the dishonesty!

Admit BSE is present in the US, and do something about it, hard to test for something, that isn't present!

Go Creekstone. Test for something, that isn't present, wouldn't that be a waste of money. Thank God for the government, or else companies would be spending money that would not be necessary, and put additional pressure on the already hurting American economy.

Go OBAMA

 

[gcreekrch]

Ulterior motives like making money from producers and publics backs at least cost and hassle.

I don't think COOL had a dang thing to do with NA beef as far as the consumer was concerned. The crap that China was (is) sending us and the realization that we really have no control what comes through our borders was what brought that on.

 

[Kato]

Exactly.

So why have you jumped on this as an excuse to dishonour your trade agreements? Why is melamine from China a reason to ignore a trade agreement with Canada?

It has been used as an excuse simply because certain factions in your country were just looking for one, and latched on to this one.

 

[Sandhusker]

#1 That trade agreement is not valid under US law and is not enforceable under US law - the law I'm referring to being the United States Constitution.

#2 The Government's highest priority is the safety of it's citizens. Trade does not trump safety and common sense and the welfare of the citizenry comes before somebody making a buck. A government has the responsibity to violate an agreement with a foreign entity rather than to violate it's highest calling.

Why are you defending a system that takes money out of your pocket? I just don't understand that.

 

[hypocritexposer]

Sandhusker! Pretty sure your new president elect, will challenge the free trade agreement. but then again, he'll probably challenge it, and then become an illegal immigrant.

Good luck with that constitution, it doesn't seem to be carrying much weight at this in time.


I could probably re-write your constitution as a Canadian ciitizen and get it approved.

Vive la United States

Did you guys in the US notice the newest bank, south of the 49th? TD NorthBank, it's Canadian owned. They are now sponsoring the Boston Gardens. Was that written into your constitution? Between china and Canada we got the US financed to the hilt.


Good luck with cutting off two way trade

"deseased cattle or not"

 

[Bill]

We get rid of BSE. That starts with an HONEST assessment of the situation, even though that may require admitting facts that we don't want to admit to. You then shut off all known avenues of infection and then test, test, test until you can't find any more. Close the doors, isolate it, eliminate it.

More simply, protectionism. You might be fooling yourself but that's about it.

Repeat after me, Sandhusker, "PROTECTIONISM".

Now, I am tired of feeding the troll.

You don't know what the hell protectionism is. It sounds like a big important word, so you're using it to sound big and important. Hint: you don't sound important by using words incorrectly.

I think you are starting to catch on Sadhusker! Congratulations.

 

[Bill]

What would of prevented that animal from entering the food supply had she been slaughtered last year?

Is that one of those big important words? :roll: :lol: :lol: Have a good day and hopefully the debating team calls you back in to coach them sometime soon.

 

[bse-tester]

Sandhusker has nailed it with his statement -

What would of prevented that animal from entering the food supply had she been slaughtered last year?

Of course, there are those who would try to throw mud on his comments but every once in a while someone with some honest sense will agree that had that animal been slaughtered last year or last month or at any time prior to being found to have BSE, it may well have ended up in some kids school lunch bucket! Now who is stupid enough to shoot that theory full of holes?? Step up now, I know you are out there!!!

I have long said that BSE will be found in milk, meat and practically every part of any infected animal that is allowed to be slaughtered for human consumption and yet there are still, amazing as it may seem, stupid people who, perhaps due to their own ignorance of what prion disease actually is and how it manifests itself, will go out of their way to argue those facts and feel that by burying their heads next to the proverbial ostrich, that it - BSE - will simply go away.

Not happening folks.

Oh, by the way, yet another case of CWD in Alberta has just been confirmed also. This time it appears to be in yet another Mule Deer. The standard government approach is to kill a huge number of deer, dig pits and bury the carcasses in them. So, I wonder if they worry about the fact that even though the majority of those killed are as healthy as can be, one or two may be buried and their decomposing bodies may contaminate the ground water with a fresh supply of deadly prions? Oh well, just another simple little concern that I am sure the "stupids" will attack in due course. But then, what if the acquifer is only a few feet or meters below the pit - since the pits are generally a few meters deep to begin with - and the creek that it drains into is the same one that some rancher relies on to water his herd. Oh my!!!!

 

[Kathy]

bse-tester, your pull at the heart strings to entrench the theory of so-called infectious prions is sad. The consumption of these cattle has not been shown to be the cause of any human disease. It is a theory. When transmission was tested in betweem cattle... it could not be done, and disease transmission only occurred after a heck of a lot of manipulation of the brain tissue and specific laboratory procedures that altered the molecular structure. The scientists have NEVER identified the real AGENT causing these diseases. Nor have they confirmed that only prion proteins are involved with the fibrils, as many other proteins structures can be very very close to their make-up and also contribute to the metalloprotein crystal fibril formation.

"Metalloprotein crystal fibril formation."[b\] You have got to be kidding right?? What the heck is in your water down there on the range Kathy???

Obviously, you are getting way over your head with comments like that Kathy!!

Where is it written that all that you post here is actually fact and not simply that which it obviously is - hypothesis? Where are your facts derived from Kathy - from the endless array of studies - made by others -that you continuously post here, that are yet to be proven conclusively? Yet you post them - why? Is it because they sound impressive and contain a lot of big words? Or is it because you use them to make yourself sound far more knowledgeable to the rest of the ranchers on this board???

Far more so than you really are? Which sadly, is far too obvious.

Since you chose to slight my post Kathy, I now chose to answer you in this manner:

It is you who continues to flush this board with your one and only answer to prion disease and that one and only answer hinges soley upon your own dilusional point of view centered around nuclear waste, used and spent nuke armorments and now radioactive dust that is apparently, in your eyes, scattered throughout British Columbia as being the one and only cause for this latest case of BSE.

Frankly, I care not what you push, I care even less as to what you may think of me. I care only for the health of humanity and the animals that we raise for our own personal consumption. The causes of this disease and its many forms are legion. The causes of some of the malformed prions and the reasons they go from one static state to another that is not only active but agressively so, is one of the most interesting dilemmas in modern science. But if we were to blame only one cause and hold it up as the only true reason for this disease to be alive and well, we would all soon lose our focus and allow ourselves to become - well, to become like you Kathy. Sadly, you have lost sight of the potential for other potential causes for prion disease and that in and of itself is sad beyond words.

 

[burnt]

Ooooh my, all that shouting - it sounds like someone feels threatened yet once again . . . :roll:

 

[Shaft]

The causes of this disease and its many forms are legion.

Perhaps, but the mode of transmission is certainly well understood, and has been for many years.

Nobody feels threatened here Burnt. Not in the least - could never happen. I simply do not subscribe to the yet unproven point of view that only nuclear waste, in its many forms, is the single most, if not the solitary cause for prion disease.

I use the term "unproven" only as a rhetorical point that demands that complete studies that show merit of purpose and ability to provide proof of concept should be used. Far too many studies end up in the trash can because they cannot be replicated by other facilities and therefore fall by the wayside.

Having said that, metal contamination and its potential for collaborative cause is a real problem, not just a concept, and it is one area of study that should be thoroughly investigated. We can only guess as to what depth this may go in the malformation of the prion and how it plays a role in triggering and/or bringing about the activation of the malformation process of the PrP from its normal form to that of the malformed isoform PrPsc. It certainly does have reactive and serious regressive affects on brain function but it is doubtful that nukes and the resulting fallout in the form of radioactive dust has caused this latest case in BC.

I do admire Kathy for her tenacity in this matter though and she does seem to find some extremely interesting studies out there. All of which I do make a point of seeking Kathy so thank you for that.
Ron.

Ron,

Thank you for your reply. I can begin to respect your views when stated like that.

The TSE Regulation also requires MSs to ensure that any animal suspected of being infected with a TSE is notified immediately for investigation. The adult cattle population in the EU is approximately 43 million (approximately 5 million in UK). Between 2001 and 2007, over 70 million cattle were tested in the EU (over 3.6 million in the UK). From 2001 to 2007, the number of BSE cases detected in the EU fell from 2181 to 175 and the detection rate fell from 2.55 to 0.18 positive BSE cases per 10000 tests carried out (Figure 1). The mean age of BSE cases in the EU15 is increasing as the epidemic declines (Figure 2). Figure 1: BSE Cases Detected per 10,000 Cattle Tested in EU from 2001 to 2007

Substances Prohibited From Use in Animal Food or Feed [Docket No. 2002N-0273] (Formerly Docket No. 02N-0273) RIN 0910-AF46

http://madcowfeed.blogspot.com/2008/04/substances-prohibited-from-use-in.html

Review on the epidemiology and dynamics of BSE epidemics

Cases of atypical BSE have only been found in countries having implemented large active surveillance programs. As of 1st September 2007, 36 cases (16 H, 20 L) have been described all over the world in cattle: Belgium (1 L) [23], Canada (1 H)15, Denmark (1 L)16, France (8 H, 6 L)17, Germany (1 H, 1 L) [13], Italy (3 L)18, Japan (1 L) [71], Netherlands (1 H, 2 L)19, Poland (1 H, 6 L)20, Sweden (1 H)21, United Kingdom (1 H)22, and USA (2 H)23. Another H-type case has been found in a 19 year old miniature zebu in a zoological park in Switzerland [56]. It is noteworthy that atypical cases have been found in countries that did not experience classical BSE so far, like Sweden, or in which only few cases of classical BSE have been found, like Canada or the USA.

And last but not least, similarities of PrPres between Htype BSE and human prion diseases like CJD or GSS have been put forward [10], as well as between L-type BSE and CJD [17]. These findings raise questions about the origin and inter species transmission of these prion diseases that were discovered through the BSE active surveillance.

USA BSE ACTIVE SURVEILLANCE ???

http://bse-atypical.blogspot.com/2008/06/review-on-epidemiology-and-dynamics-of.html

Please remember, the last two mad cows documented in the USA i.e. Alabama and Texas, both were of the 'atypical' BSE strain, and immediately after that, the USDA shut down the testing from 470,000 to 40,000 in the U.S. in 2007 out of about 35 million cattle slaughtered. also, science is showing that some of these atypical cases are more virulent to humans than the typical UK BSE strain ;

***Atypical forms of BSE have emerged which, although rare, appear to be more virulent than the classical BSE that causes vCJD.***

Progress Report from the National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center

An Update from Stephen M. Sergay, MB, BCh & Pierluigi Gambetti, MD

April 3, 2008

http://www.aan.com/news/?event=read&article_id=4397&page=72.45.45

In this context, a word is in order about the US testing program. After the discovery of the first (imported) cow in 2003, the magnitude of testing was much increased, reaching a level of >400,000 tests in 2005 (Figure 4). Neither of the 2 more recently indigenously infected older animals with nonspecific clinical features would have been detected without such testing, and neither would have been identified as atypical without confirmatory Western blots. Despite these facts, surveillance has now been decimated to 40,000 annual tests (USDA news release no. 0255.06, July 20, 2006) and invites the accusation that the United States will never know the true status of its involvement with BSE.

In short, a great deal of further work will need to be done before the phenotypic features and prevalence of atypical BSE are understood. More than a single strain may have been present from the beginning of the epidemic, but this possibility has been overlooked by virtue of the absence of widespread Western blot confirmatory testing of positive screening test results; or these new phenotypes may be found, at least in part, to result from infections at an older age by a typical BSE agent, rather than neonatal infections with new "strains" of BSE. Neither alternative has yet been investigated.

Over the next 8-10 weeks, approximately 40% of all the adult mink on the farm died from TME. Since previous incidences of TME were associated with common or shared feeding practices, we obtained a careful history of feed ingredients used over the past 12-18 months.

Missouri Firm Recalls Cattle Heads That Contain Prohibited Materials

Recall Release CLASS II RECALL FSIS-RC-021-2008 HEALTH RISK: LOW

Congressional and Public Affairs (202) 720-9113 Amanda Eamich

WASHINGTON, June 26, 2008 – Paradise Locker Meats, a Trimble, Mo., establishment, is voluntarily recalling approximately 120 pounds of fresh cattle heads with tonsils not completely removed, which is not compliant with regulations that require the removal of tonsils from cattle of all ages, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today.

Tonsils are considered a specified risk material (SRM) and must be removed from cattle of all ages in accordance with FSIS regulations. SRMs are tissues that are known to contain the infective agent in cattle infected with BSE, as well as materials that are closely associated with these potentially infective tissues. Therefore, FSIS prohibits SRMs from use as human food to minimize potential human exposure to the BSE agent.

The products subject to recall include: Boxes of "BEEF HEAD, PARADISE LOCKER MEATS." Each shipping package bears the establishment numbers "EST. 31865" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

These products were sent to retail establishments and restaurants in the Kansas City, Kansas, area.

The problem was discovered through routine FSIS inspection that verified there had been incomplete removal of the tonsils by the recalling establishment.

Media and consumers with questions about the recall should contact company Production Supervisor Louis Fantasma at (816) 370-6328.

Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day. #

Texas Firm Recalls Cattle Heads That Contain Prohibited Materials

Recall Release CLASS II RECALL FSIS-RC-020-2008 HEALTH RISK: LOW

Congressional and Public Affairs (202) 720-9113 Peggy Riek

WASHINGTON, June 26, 2008 – Beltex Corporation, doing business as Frontier Meats, a Fort Worth, Texas, establishment, is recalling approximately 2,850 pounds of fresh cattle heads which may contain specified risk materials (SRMs), the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today.

SRMs are tissues that are known to contain the infective agent in cattle infected with BSE, as well as materials that are closely associated with these potentially infective tissues. Therefore, FSIS prohibits SRMs from use as human food to minimize potential human exposure to the BSE agent.

The products subject to recall include: Cases of "BEEF WHOLE HEAD." Each shipping package bears the establishment number "EST. 7041B" inside the USDA mark of inspection, as well as a package code of "51904" or "63922."

The company is recalling all products packed between May 31, 2007, and June 24, 2008. These products were distributed to retail establishments and lunch carts in the Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas, area.

The problem was discovered by the State of Texas officials during a routine inspection at a retail establishment.

Media and consumers with questions about the recall should contact the company Sales Department at (817) 624-1136.

Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday.
