If any good can come of all this it will be that traceability is the norm for all animals.its been proven that a cow can pass it to her offspring.In the UK we went through a period of denial in the early months of this new problem but when it became obvious that this was a problem like no other it called for a total re-think of how beef was produced.A total ban on meat and bone meal was introduced in 1987.3.7 million animals were destroyed over time to prevent them entering the food chain.The system now calls for a paper trail from birth to death of each animal,only by this method can the public be assured that beef is safe to eat.British beef is now once again allowed to be exported.One thing to remember through all of this is that CJD (the human form of the disease)is the most horrible way to die immaginable,if preventable,would you want it to happen to a member of your family.
