Canada to Quadruple BSE Testing

The CFIA says it will test 30,000 cows for BSE next year up from the 8,000 expected to be tested this year. Animals as young as 20 months will be tested.

Testing is an attempt to reassure the international community and open foreign borders to Canadian cattle exports, once again.

I wouldn't mind if they tested them all. That way it won't matter if they find another one.

Let's get this thing over with once and for all.

rsomer... have you heard how much it is costing the CFIA to test ? I hate to think the little monopoly the CFIA and USDA have on testing would become a little scam of its own. I guess this BSE is making I a little cynical!

What is the point of testing more cattle if you don't test them all?
What is wrong with our Canadian scientists? Are they so stupid that they actually want to find out the truth? Don't they know that, that isn't how the world works?
They need to follow their fellow American scientists and learn that the trick is to cover things up... and not expose them!
Do you ever find it strange that Avian flu just sort of went off the map in the USA...while in Canada we just keep finding more and more? Same thing will happen with BSE?? No more American cases...just lots more Canadian ones!
Canada needs to realize that science, isn't in fact science at all!...just another way to fool the dumbies buying the product! Junk science?
