BSE - 'Mad Cow Disease'
Only one case discovered in Aberdeenshire County, Scotland.
A region previously exempted from controls and exported with a "negligible risk" status is now ended. Whilst BSE made a brief media splash in the UK... it has suddenly become a 'dead story' in MSM. However..... my local Supermarket, whilst small, today, had empty shelves for yards. I thought they were cleaning. Friends who had gone to nearer larger towns / cities said ASDA and Tesco each had empty expanses amongst the fresh meat counters. Good old FaceAche... I'd just asked why my local Supermarket had empty shelves? We all thought it was a communally agreed spring cleaning. There you go.... Trusting or what? A late entry from someone I don't know, said that they are removing every Beef product of fresh meat - frozen was OK - and he said it was a Directive from 'a Govt department, an advisory not an order. MSM silence is now deafening. As long as blues' fans don't buy Beefburgers at Stoke this weekend - I'm ok Last edited by Meini Again; October 19th, 2018 at 04:35 AM.. |

We should be more like the French who called it JCB disease because their chosen method of dealing with it was to bury the afflicted animal.

The last British case prior to this Aberdeenshire incident was in Wales in 2015. Apparently there have been a few isolated BSE cases in cattle in France and some other EU countries, but only a very few and spread over the fifteen years since the original BSE epidemic died down. The question I would ask is why there are any, if contaminated feed is really what causes it. Who today is still rendering the remains of dead cows into animal feed?

Yep.
In the BSE outbreak in the 1990s 4.5 Million Cattle .... were slaughtered across the UK. Is that enough Scounds ? My point was.... the sudden death on MSM of ONE BSE outbreak - and the removal of fresh Beef from supermarket shelves. Hundreds of miles away from the ONE case, but not from distributors of fresh Beef. With Brexit looming, the UK doesn't need this negative publicity. |

As a Post Script/Update
Our local "withdrawn" Beef returned to our shelves. A 3/4 days absence all-told. I feel a bit of a fool having created a mini-panic in my area of the UK ... the supermakets around here may sue me if they've suffered loss of income ... and...if they can find me So, no outbreak, to confound Brexit talks... seems like just a recall/check from our hub distributors. All labelled as UK Sourced At Ease.... |
