Default Re: OT: BSE (aka Mad Cow Disease) in the US

TerranC, the Reuter link did not provide any information why there couldn't be undetected cases of BSE. BSE can occur naturally without being exposed to contagious material. So, if there are enough cows out there, you will have some with BSE no matter what. The question is, what do we do about this, especially if we remember that BSE (and similar diseases) are already out there for years (if not centuries...)?
But it does say that there were no further cases of BSE found in Canada; which was the point I was trying to convey.
