Two Human Victims of Mad Cow Disease
The health department of the regional Castilla-Leon government in
Spain announced yesterday that two people have died from variant
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, the human form of mad cow disease. Juan Jose
Badiola, director for Spain's National Reference Centre for Transmitted
Spongiform Encephalopathy, said there was no cause for alarm since most
likely the victims contracted the disease more than eight years ago. The
European Union in January 2001 banned the use of animal and bone meal in
animal feed in order to prevent the spread of mad cow disease and vCJD.

Exploiting God's animals for profit and taste has brought grave
consequences for human health. The animal agriculture industry has many
times resorted to practices, such as feeding animals to animals, making
them cannibalistic, in order to increase profit and minimize cost. These
practices however, have come to a high price for humans and animals,
reflecting little respect for God's Creation.
