Canada-$10 billion BSE law case.
$10 BILLION LAW SUIT.
The cattle producers of Ontario, have filed a class action law suit against the Canada government in relation the mad cow disease outbreak in 2005.
The claim is based on the negligence of the government, in allowing animal by products containing brain material be fed to cattle.
This all sounds quite simple, except the farmers will have to prove the link between by-products and BSE, which has never been proved to date in any part of the world beyond reasonable doubt, at best this is only an assumption.
The findings will be of interest, indeed they may throw more light into the interaction of the food chain in relation to BSE.
Remarkably farmers seem to have no qualms, about by products being fed to pigs and poultry, while they may argue that pigs and poultry are carnivorous, this would be clutching at straws from a legal point of view

Amazing how something that has not been proven to the human form of the disease devestated farmers across the country where markets fell right off the map and destroyed many Beef Farmers lifes in Canada when Bse Hit. I believe big business trying to dominate agriculture had a big part of bse in Canada. I will not mention the company i have in mind, but they where buying up cheap calves from desperate cow calf producers and finshing them in there feedlots and still selling to the retail sector . The price at the retail sector never dropped off while the bse crisis was looming here in Canada.The slaughter plants where still making a killing off of the backs of farmers and consumers. If this has not been proven which i agree, why was there so much devestation amongst the beef farmers of Canada? I personally lost approximately $300000 in it on a medium sized operation

Now would be a good time for the scientific community to realize that they have been mislead by their racist predecessors and that Kuru had nothing to do with cannibalism, neither has BSE or CJD.I believe BSE was caused by a wheat substitute. BSE did not stop when meat meal was banned, but it did reduce when and with, wheat prices -high in the UK, began to be reduced to world prices.No need to invent life without DNA,and it explains why there has not been a national outbreak of nvCJD.
