of mad cows and the govt

[Guest guest]

A criminal investigation is underway to determine whether the U.S.

Government falsified documents pertaining to the recent case of Mad Cow

Disease in Washington. Specifically, the Department of Agriculture

reported that the beef that tested positive for the disease came from a

"downer" cow (a cow too ill to walk). Three key eye-witnesses at the

slaughterhouse argue otherwise, saying the cow was walking and appeared

to be healthy. The U.S. Government used the potentially altered

documents to assuage concerns that cattle are not tested sufficiently

for this deadly disease in the U.S.
