When the first cases of mad cow disease was discovered in Britain, the country's Agriculture Minister, John Gummer (under the Cabinet of Prime Minister John Major) repeatedly asserted that mad cow disease does not affect human health cool. On a national television program, he was 4 years old daughter Cordelia to eat a hamburger made from British beef.
Nightmare mad cow England began in 1986, when the Ministry of Agriculture announced a number of children cattle infected with the disease. During 10 years later, the island government fog continued to encourage domestic beef consumption and exports because they think people have nothing to worry about this disease
, however, consumers and skeptical media, and the business situation becomes bleak beef. Then, in May 3/1996, a study by the British government warned of the link between mad cow disease and a disease similar to human Creutzfeldt-Jakob named, but it is thought that it is a variation of mad cow disease. There have been 143 deaths from the disease, but people still have to be confirmed they died from eating infected beef or not.
Sales of beef back to the numbers 0 overnight. All shops on the highway are made banners with the promise: "England do not sell beef here." When the next warning of the possibility of infection of sheep and pigs, The Mirror (London) ran the headline to describe the general mood of the people of the country: "We can eat what the hell is this?".
the European Union has banned the import of all beef products from the UK, to cut $ 2 billion from this lucrative export. To reassure the public, the British Government has finally decided to kill and burn 2.75 million cattle, and farmers are reimbursed 100% of the current value of each cow. It makes people to think more from the mad cow crisis is breeding a new technology (gene transfer technology, hormonal intervention ...) and veterinary drugs have to be one of the root causes this disease.
