6. Mad Elk and Mad Deer Disease. This week David Butler Jones, chief
health officer for Saskatchewan, announced on the CBC that BSE (bovine
spongiform encephalopathy) is contaminating elk and deer herds in Canada
and the US. One theory is that factory farming of the animals causes
disease generating proximity. Another is that deer are eating dumpster
food containing animal products.
