Between 1988 and 1996, Britain also exported 3.2 million live cattle to 36 countries, reaching every continent. It thought the animals were healthy because they weren't believed to have been fed any meal containing cattle products. But the threat that some of the cattle may have been infected isn't theoretical; over the years, mad-cow disease cases involving imported British cattle have been reported not only in Europe, but also in Canada, Oman and the Falkland Islands. >>>I wouldn't worry about Mad Cows... British Government officials have been telling the Germans [and the rest of those continental ninnys] for 6-7 years that they were absolute pigheaded unscientific idiots for wanting to ban British beef.<<< Hmmm...Perhaps they should try explaining that to the two dead Frenchmen and the dead Irishman whose deaths I believe were not linked to a trip to GB and yet died of BSE-CJD variant nonetheless. Do you in fact know anything about this topic?
