Mad Cow Disease Rampant in Colorado,
Wyoming, and Nebraska
by William Cooper
Veritas News Service -- Exclusive, April 5, 2001 -- The cover-up of Mad Cow Disease in the United States is beginning to self destruct. According to a State of Colorado Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife (DOW) letter, Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy, in Europe it is known as Mad Cow Disease, is rampant in the mule deer, whitetail deer, and elk population of Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska. The very same disease in humans is called Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. It is always fatal in animals and humans reducing the brain to a spongy mass over the period of infection.
According to our confidential souces Colorado State University at Ft. Collins has been experimenting with injecting animals, deer, pronghorn, and elk with the disease. I can't prove it but I believe that some of the animals may have escaped quarantine and contaminated the whole area over a long period of time.
For the last couple years hunters have been required to cut off the heads of their deer, put a tag on them, and drop it in barrels that have been placed at intersections of highways around the mountains. DOW tests the animals promising to notify the hunters if the meat is infected. If the hunter doesn't hear from DOW in six weeks, they are to assume that the meat is okay. Some families who ate the meat after six weeks were notified after 8 weeks that the meat was contaminated.
When hunters send their deer to a meat processor it is mixed with all the other carcasses. There is no way to monitor this as the deer bodies are brought in fresh. Processors cannot hold a deer carcass for over six weeks before processing! There are not enough storage facilities and/or freezers.
To cover-up the true nature of the disease in Colorado it has been called CWD or Chronic Wasting Disease. The problem became so serious that the Division of Wildlife was forced to tell the truth calling for a public meeting on April 7, 2000 to ask for public help in reducing the deer population by 50% in an effort to reduce spread of the disease.
Most of the state of Colorado is infected. The heaviest concentration of the disease has been found in Game Management Unit 9 north of Fort Collins between US highway 287 and I-25 up to the Wyoming state line. Units around the Red Feathers area, Masonville, Glacier View, and Estes Park are also experiencing high levels of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy.

Speaking as a resident of one of those "afflicted" states, I have heard nothing at all about an outbreak. Of course, that may be because the government is just covering it up. Just like they did the moon landing. It was all done on a sound stage, ya know. And the Kennedy assassination? Faked. And they're lying about the Visitors from the Other Dimension too. Don't believe a word the government says. They're just a bunch of crackpots. Not a reliable source, like this guy.

Don't get me wrong, but isn't this disease only spread through the eating of brain matter? Where do deer and elk and deer get brain matter to eat?

Chronic Wasting Disease in Deer and Elk:
Food Safety Precautions
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a debilitating, ultimately fatal disease in deer and elk. Affected animals become listless, lose significant weight, and eventually die in a wasted state. Deer with CWD commonly drink large amounts of water and urinate frequently. The brains of animals with CWD develop many microscopic-sized holes, which give the brain a sponge-like appearance. To date, the only cases of CWD in free-ranging deer and elk in the United States have occurred in southeast Wyoming and northeast Colorado. CWD also occurs in a few captive herds, and appears to be more common in areas where deer and elk congregate at man-made feed and water stations.
CWD is part of a group of disorders referred to as Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs). (Encephaolopathy is a general term for brain disease.) Other TSEs include scrapie, which affects sheep; Bovine Spongiform Encephaolopathy (BSE, also informally termed "mad cow disease") which has affected cattle in Great Britain; and Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease, a degenerative nerve disease in humans. TSEs are caused by poorly understood agents called proteinaceous infection particles or prions. Prions are destructive brain proteins that can damage healthy brain proteins. It is not yet known if prions are capable of damage on their own or if they act in concert with or are the result of another infectious agent, such as a virus.
Because of the uncertainties about prions and the potential for public health problems and wide-spread concern among the general public, TSEs are the focus of intense monitoring and research. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration also have many regulations and procedures in place to help safeguard the food supply. In light of these potential problems and concerns, the following are important to note about CWD:
According to wildlife experts and public health officials,
No evidence indicates that the agent that causes CWD occurs in the meat.
No evidence indicates that chronic wasting disease can be naturally transmitted to
humans,
domestic livestock, or
animals other than deer and elk.
Although the diseases are similar, no evidence suggests that either scrapie or BSE is caused by contact with wild deer or elk.
Nevertheless, in light of the uncertainties, hunters and other individuals who handle deer and elk and who want to avoid unknown potential risks can take these precautions:
Do not harvest, handle, or consume any wild animals that appear to be sick, regardless of the cause.
Wear rubber gloves when dressing carcasses, particularly carcasses of animals from areas where CWD is known to occur. Minimize handling of brain and spinal tissues. Wash hands thoroughly afterwards with warm, soapy water.
Bone out carcasses. Discard the brain, spinal cord, eyes, spleen, and lymph nodes from deer and elk harvested in southeast Wyoming and northeast Colorado.
Discard bones, hide, and head in the appropriate location at landfills.

no, you're not. sticking to fish, chicken and pork, with a lot more vegetarian meals. as long as it can't me transmitted by a fine bourbon, or a good pinot noir, i'll make out. i live in nebraska, and used to occasionally eat deer or elk from friends who hunt--i cut that out about a year ago for the reasons set forth in the article.

No.
The "how" is not the most important question to be answered. The honest reply to the "is it here?" query is what I'm after.

It comes from consuming infected meat proteins. That's what makes this story so dubious. I find little reason to believe the wild animals mentioned have a) become carnivorous and are feeding on infected animals or b) are being fed tainted livestock feed.
Mad Cow disease spreads because in some countries animal protein is added to livestock feed to boost protein content in order to aid growth and reduce the amount of grain required. When the remains of an infected animal are added to the feed the disease can spread. I don't think this is practiced much in the US. Much of our beef is range fed or fed with quality grains, including soybean for added protein.

Mad cow disease 'may have spread beyond Europe' By Michael Mann in London, James Blitz in Rome and Frances Williams in Geneva Published: February 7 2001 19:44GMT | Last Updated: February 7 2001 22:17GMT
Fifteen years after British scientists first formally recognised mad cow disease, the United Nations dared on Wednesday to say what many have long feared - the problem could be about to spread way beyond Europe's borders.
UN Food and Agriculture Organisation director-general Jacques Diouf said on Wednesday that bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) could spread to as many as 100 countries outside western Europe through exports of infected meat and bone meal (MBM).
Britain, which has suffered the vast majority of more than 180,000 recorded cases of BSE in Europe, exported thousands of tonnes of MBM all over the world between the first discovery of the disease in the mid-1980s and the UK ban on MBM exports in 1996.
Although Britain banned the feeding of MBM to cattle in 1988, it continued to export it legally until 1996 when it prohibited the use of MBM in all animal feed and introduced a complete ban on exports. The rest of the European Union stopped MBM exports last month.
This trade took the product as far afield as Indonesia, Israel, Russia and - in small quantities - the US.
"It's quite clear Britain exported this stuff to a lot of countries and we can't exclude that the problem has been exported," said a European Commission official.
However, as is often the case with BSE, even the export statistics fail to tell the whole story. Customs and Excise export records have no category for MBM, lumping it together with less hazardous products such as chicken meal. "Some of these exports would have been MBM, but unfortunately it's not possible to say how much," said Paul Foxcroft, sales director of Prosper De Mulder, a British rendering company.
But Mr Foxcroft said that other countries must learn from Britain's misfortune.
"Cross-contamination or misuse [of MBM] is always possible. It would be a wise precaution for countries that have imported MBM to examine potential risk factors. Having said that, I would have thought there is very little chance of BSE developing outside Europe."
However, according to Maura Ricketts of the Geneva-based World Health Organisation, the extent to which the disease could spread depends on the type of practice used by each country's beef industry.
"It only takes infected material the size of a peppercorn to infect a cow," Dr Ricketts said. "If they do not have an indigenous rendering industry, the infection could stop there." If they do have a rendering industry and feed meat and bone meal to cattle, the infection could spread widely.
This has raised concerns that the massive US beef industry could be at risk. Although the Americans imported minute quantities of MBM in the 1980s, it only banned the feeding of MBM to cattle in 1997. The European Commission is assessing risks posed by beef from various countries and has classified the BSE risk from the US as "very improbable, but not excluded". Clearly the EU thinks other countries may have a problem. From April all non-EU countries will have to strip tissues most likely to carry BSE from cattle carcasses before export to the EU.
Last week, Texas rounded up hundreds of cattle that had been fed ruminant-based MBM by accident. "That incident showed that the firewalls we have in place in the US do work," said a spokesman for the US Department of Agriculture. "We couldn't completely rule it out but it's highly unlikely we will have a problem, given the controls."

Testing for Mad Cow is simple, from the tenor of your post perhaps you should see your doctor or animal vet immediately.
Testing for gullibility is nearly as easy. All you do is post some hearsay with a lot of blather and innuendo, then sit back and watch who takes the bait. However, I can't recommend a good healer for this infirmity. Perhaps a daily dose of skepticism, backed up by common sense.

The cover up would be for what purpose?

Clinical signs of the disease are changes in behavior, incoordination, jerking of hind limbs, circling, compulsive chewing, and clenching of the teeth.>>>> I may have this after all, my hind limbs keep jerking as I run in circles, can't tell if my teeth are clenched though, they're false.

Dang, that mooseburger I just ate feels like it is coming back up. NOT!
Seriously, with all of the conflicting info out there it is hard to tell what the h*ll is going on. I have decided to just keep stalking, shooting, and eating the local fauna. As far as I have been able to determine there have been no reports of any of it here in the Northeast, but I am keeping my ears open.

Meant to add that I am more concerned that it will affect the local game herds than that it is killing humans. I think that the jury is still out on it passing to humans.

LOL!!!!!
It's not plagiarism at all! I created GRACEBOTTM© for exactly the purpose for which you used her here, free of charge!
Those who try to reprogram her, however, will be labeled "plagiarists" by the program's designer and possibly subject to a sound thrashing from the same.

25 years ago, in Wisconsin, the DNR was concerned that planting elk would be disastrous because they would be infected with CWD from the native deer herd. Now we have some transplanted elk and there seems to be no problem so far.

The cover-up is to give stockholders in the beef industry time to bail-out quietly before the rest of us find-out. I lost a family member to this disease 3 years ago. She was a very nice lady in Virginia, of about 60 years of age. Another I know of, was in Jasper Texas. This one was reported on-air in Beaumont. And... Hushed very quickly!

I have not said they crashed. I answered the question, "why"? I think the reason is as I stated. Can you imagine the market frenzy which will ensue once the general public finds-out about the media cover-up? This is WHY we have a FREE REPUBLIC.COM website. Think about it. The mad cow cover-up has been so blatant, the news media / government cabal is fair game for all of the freepers of the world, but no one is recognizing it. I'm really laughing at all of you. Sheeple! Also, I am going to buy into soybean futures.
