Bovine spongiform encephalitis

"Feeding animal carcasses to other farm animals was halted seven years ago [publish date June 1, 2007] at the height of the UK's BSE crisis."

In BSE, the infecting agent resides in the brain and closely-associated structures, e.g. the spinal cord.

Grinding bone or feeding cattle pulverized meat from-near-the bone is thought to transmit the most BSE.

It was time to stop feeding herbivores dead parts of their "downer" species-mates - Ya Think?!
