Concerns Raised About 1997 U. S. Mad Cow Tests
Posted on Thursday, April 14 at 09:58 by 4Canada
Doi's concerns are echoed by Dr. Karl Langheindrich, the chief scientist at a U.S. Department of Agriculture lab in Athens, Ga., that ran some of the early tests on the cow. The sample given to the lab did not contain parts of the animal's brain critical for an accurate diagnosis, he said.
Langheindrich told CBC News that the department will never be able to say for sure what was wrong with the cow, though at the time it publicly ruled out bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
"Based on the clinical symptoms and the description given by the veterinarian, you can verify, yes, this animal had CNS, central nervous system disease, but you can't specify it in your findings further than that," he said.

Another reason for not integrating with the US as the CCCE would have us do.
Dont these people worry about their families? Robert G. Mac Donald.M.D. .
Do YOU worry about their families Dr. MacDonald? Just curious.
The question should be do Canadians care about their families and if so then how are you going to protect them in this corrupt political world we live in?
When those who do wrong against their citizens are the very people who get to control the investigative process, how safe are we?
Our elected have been dirty with greed and they care not one bit about their citizens, all they want is that paycheck, that pension and to be able to rip us off as often as they can get away with it. This my friend is what political parties are for, they are the tool by which we the taxpayers are take for a ride.
If you want to fix it, then keep your money away from them and do not give your time at election time. Let those who steel from us put their own party signs in the ground.
