> As a member of the animal industry, you will probably think I am biased, but I will attempt to be as objective as possible. This show you are referring to dealt with mad cow disease- something that has never been reported in the US. It wasn't about the horrible treatment of catttle. The beef industry tried to sue her for defamation because her information was incorrect; however, people believe all the bull (excuse the pun) she spouts.

Mad Cow desease has been found in deer herds in America recently (wild herds, I understand, rather than farmed), and there have been at least 3 cases of Creutzfeld-Jakobs desease (the human form, from eating infected spinal chord) in the US linked to this.
