Food Pets Die For: Shocking Facts About Pet Food Ann N. Martin See book keywords and concepts

BSE already existed and that it manifests itself as a "downer cow" disease rather than as "mad cow" disease as found in the United Kingdom. When Dr. Marsh undertook these experiments in 1985, the prion theory was just that—a theory. Scientists had first identified prions in the 1970s, however, it was not until about 1987 that prions were connected to BSE or any of the TSE diseases. The British government, as well as all Tenderers internationally, assumed that rendering destroys this disease. Who Disposed of the Diseased Animals? Seven thousand mink died at this ranch in Wisconsin.

When they have a downer cow, they put it into the grinder, the same as any other downer cow, and then they tell us, "This cow didn't make it into the food supply. Don't worry. You're safe, and your pets are safe. None of this is in the food supply! Don't worry about it!" The other relevant fact here is that cows are moved across the country. A cow could be born in one state, fed in another state, weighed in another state and then slaughtered somewhere else. All they know is that this cow, at some point in its life, was a Texas cow.

Let's talk about this downer cow that was recently confirmed as having mad cow disease. It only took... let's see... seven months for the USDA to confirm that this cow had mad cow disease? Only seven months! Your taxpayer dollars are hard at work... Here's my opinion of what happened: First, the cow gets mad cow disease, probably from consuming spinal cord tissue and brain parts of other dead cows that are typically fed to cattle as part of the everyday beef operations here in the United States.

Turns out it was a downer cow, which means it couldn't walk. So where do they send this cow? Well, to the pet food slaughterhouse, of course. That's where many of these diseased cows end up going -- right into the pet food products for your Fido. If you've ever wondered what's in those cans that you're feeding your pets, this is the answer -- dead cows that are unfit for human consumption. And some of them, it appears, have mad cow disease.
