12/29/2003 Entry: "We got some mad! mad! cows!"

"While federal investigators cautioned the hunt for beef linked to a Washington state cow diagnosed with the deadly mad cow disease was at an early stage, a high-ranking USDA official called on foreign countries to end their ban on U.S. beef.

"A recall of the beef, which had been underway in Washington state, Oregon, California and Nevada, was expanded to Alaska, Montana, Hawaii, Idaho and Guam, the USDA said.

"The 10,000 pounds of beef represents meat from 20 animals, including the sick cow, that were slaughtered at a Washington state facility on Dec. 9.

"That meat has since been distributed to stores and some of it possibly has been consumed."

And is the USDA trying to tell me NOT to freak out about this?

"DeHaven said Canada has obtained a semen sample from 'what is believed to be the sire of this infected cow.' By comparing DNA samples from both sides of the border, 'We should be able to make a firm determination' on where the Holstein cow was born, he said."
U.S. Mad-Cow Beef Recall Expands, by Richard Cowan, Reuters, December 28, 2003 (thanks, See the Forest, for the pointer)

Who cares where it's from, it was slaughtered and SOLD for consumption HERE!
