So now, mad cow disease in this country has been brought to light. And yet, the government is trying to figure out a way to blame it on Canada so that the US beef industry can continue exporting tainted meat around the world:

If U.S. officials determine the sick cow was imported from Canada and its offspring has been destroyed, they could protect the American beef trade from economic fallout, said Michael Stumo, an attorney for the Organization for Competitive Markets, a nonprofit group in Nebraska whose mission is to ensure fair markets for farmers.

But investigators have not yet found where the sick cow was born.

U.S. officials have repeatedly said the food supply is safe because the cow's brain, spinal cord, and lower part of the small intestine — where the disease is found — were removed before it was sent for processing.
