USDA refused to release mad cow records This UPI report is a little disturbing. Apparently this cow was slaughtered because it was sick, and that is the only reason it was tested for mad cow disease. Only 20,000 cattle were tested in 2002 & 2003, there are about 200,000 of these so called downed cattle proccessed a year. The USDA refuses to release records pertaining to testing. Do we smell coverup?

No one has any documentation on where the meat from this sick cow went! Meanwhile we are assured by the Goverment, USDA and The Cattlemens Associations that all is good and that our beef supplies are safe. No one can explain where the mad cow disease came from, but we are assured that this is an isolated case.
Still not adressed is transporting cattle across the borders. There doesn't seem to be a need for transporting cattle across borders, yet it provides an opportunity for diseases to spread from one country to another.
