For 40 years Howard Lyman was a cattle rancher in Montana. A personal health crisis caused him to reconsider his lifestyle and way of farming. He started doing research into Mad Cow disease (BSE) after the outbreak of that disease in England several years ago. He shared some of his findings on the Oprah Winfrey Show and was sued along with her by a Texas cattlemen's association in the famous 'I'll never eat another hamburger' case. All charges were subsequently dismissed by the courts. Recently Howard had a 2 hour TV interview in which he answered such questions as: - how widespread is the problem in North America? - what have the U.S. and Canadian governments done about animal feeding practices and testing of slaughtered animals to ensure the meat supply is safe? - can other animals raised for meat such as chicken, turkey, fish get variants of the disease? - are variants of the disease (called CWD in wild animals) now present in animals hunted for food like deer and elk? - can cats and dogs get a form of the disease through pet food? - can we get the human form of the disease (CJD) from things other than meat such as dairy products like milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream or other animal products we use? - are we mistaking CJD for other diseases like Alzheimer's? You can get a great deal of information from Howard Lyman's internet website - www.madcowboy.com <http://www.madcowboy.com> or recent newspaper articles such as 'Is it safe to eat beef?', ' A problem waiting to happen' and 'Complacency is the real killer in mad cow' which can be found at www.thestar.com <http://www.thestar.com> Serbian News Network - SNN [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.antic.org/
