Broke Cowboy- I have a hard time buying the disease story sometimes...A good example would be the Canadian BSE cases- all of which originated in a "cluster" area of a part of Alberta and Saskatchewan- one found just lately that was even born post feed ban...Using the disease theory and the sound science which has been used for years- you would quarantine and isolate that area, testing all animals slaughtered from that area to find the extent of the disease and to prevent spread...
But instead the CFIA and USDA use the sound science of short term economics, change all the worlds BSE rules and say don't worry about it :???:
What good is having M-ID involving BSE?....
" one found just lately" How lately was that Oldtimer?
"Quarantine and isolate the area"? In the past few years many beef and dairy animals have left Texas,
Washington State, Alberta and Saskatchewan and found homes elsewhere in North America so you want a total North American quarantine?
