SlaughterA worker saws a cow’s head off. Scientists know that the brain and spinal material of cows can cause the human variant of mad cow disease if consumed by humans, but the fast and shoddy butchering of the animals often causes brain and spinal material to spatter onto meat that is sold to the public. A study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2002 found that 35 percent of cow flesh contained “unacceptable nervous [system] tissues” that could cause the human variant of mad cow disease. |
