>>Thanks, Chip. General Store does not have WSJ. << Geeeszummm Jeffry...means a trip to the big city..., don't believe White River has a WSJ either. <chuckle> I believe ya gotta get the article...! Obviously there's science behind the article, but it's written for general reader commentary. Well, to paraphrase..., basically the guy's saying the English sheep caused the problem, because laboratories have found that sheep can get mad cow disease by eating tiny amounts of BSE-tainted material. This sent the researchers out to study brains of sheep known to have died from scrapie. The revisitation has yielded strong indications the sheep died of BSE. Further more the infectious material was found in the spleens of BSE-infected sheep, something not found in BSE cows. This raises the specter of a more complicated pas de deux between the species. This suggests as the article states, that mutton is the carrier to humans not cows...! This occurred after the sheep consumed rudiment feeds tainted with cow remains containing BSE. He also speculates it's already in the USA, in both sheep and cows. Doesn't talk about the fish or chicken/turkey industry.
