Mad cow disease found in Alberta in 2003 resulted in Japan shutting down Alberta beef imports for 20 years. They recently started up again.
Cows dont have horns. Bulls do.If said cow ever sees this, you're going to get the horns, Trav.

That's bull. Generally male and female bovines grow horns. An exception are purebred Angus and neither males nor females grow horns. And even Angus cattle may on rare occasions carry the genes for growing horns.Cows dont have horns. Bulls do.
That's an awful way of going. So sorry to hear that.Or quickly. My wife’s favorite aunt was normal at Thanksgiving, unable to speak by Christmas, and dead by Easter. She had a presumptive diagnosis of early onset rapidly progressing dementia but her post-mortem showed CJD.
As far as I know, only birds don't get prion diseases. Prion diseases have only been found in mammals so far, especially in humans, ungulates, rodents, and cats. Most cases of CJD are probably not caused by the consumption of BSE-infected tissue but due to spontaneous formation that is linked to a genetic predisposition. The trigger could be an external stimulus. For example, I may have a genetic predisposition for CJD. When I consume food that is infected with BSE this stimulus triggers CJD. There was once a prion disease by the name of kuru which was caused by the unsavory habit of Papuan cannibals eating human brains.That is new information for me. Now I have to research this about squirrels - and since squirrels are just rats with furry tails, does this mean rats too?
