Mad cow

December 29/04 - US re-opens border to live Canadian beef
January 2/05 - Second case of Mad Cow found in Alberta

Sigh. The ranchers seriously can't win. Of course, proving that the decision was always motivated by politics rather than health, apparently the US will not revoke its decision to re-open the border.

What really pisses me off about this is that there is a very simple way to prevent Mad Cow - don't feed cows to cows. They're not even carnivores, let alone cannibals. But that might cost a little bit more, so it's out of the question. Instead, we'll just continue to produce diseased animals. After all, what's a little brain-wasting between friends?
