Category: Agricultural policies
Posted by: alexandre
The mad cow crisis (2003), a crisis that never existed.
A pseudo-crisis that hurted the agriculture, destroy our agricultural heritage!!!! A crisis created by the panic of the agricultural administration that was much more scrared than reasonable.
In fact, medical world have never proved and confirmed a casual effect with the bovine meat consumption and the "Creutzfeldt-Jakob" disease.
Since the beginning of the mad cow crisis in the western countries, 146 case of human sickness have been reported and none of them lead us to believe they could have a link with the mad cow.
However, never the scientific world made a casual effect between those entities.
In America, each year, 785 golfers are alectrocuted by a lightning practicing their favourite sport.
Then, why our aothorities applied the precautionary principle only to the agricultural world. Following their logic, those authorities should have closed all the golf course!!!!
