Subject: RE: List of countries ban US beef imports..
Of course a ban on downed animals (which I generally agree with) would do
very little to deal with this as the generally accepted cause of the disease
has a very unpredictable dormancy phase. Perfectly healthy seeming animals
can be just as infectious as "downed" animals.
I'm not sure what to do to solve this, but I'm concerned that reinstating
the ban on downed animals could be seen as a "fix" for this issue when it's
not.
I wonder if stricter standards on the use of brain/nervous system tissue
would help at all?
