WASHINGTON - Tests have confirmed mad cow disease in a U.S. cow previously cleared of having the brain wasting illness, the Agriculture Department said Friday. It is the second case of mad cow disease in the United States.
An internationally recognized laboratory in Weybridge, England, confirmed the case of mad cow disease after U.S. tests produced conflicting results, Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns said.
Moooo
However, the Agriculture Secretary didn't know these new tests had been requested at all.
WASHINGTON - Amid uproar from cattlemen, Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns questioned why his department's inspector general ordered new tests for mad cow disease two weeks ago without his knowledge or approval.....New tests were ordered earlier this month on an animal declared to be free of mad cow disease
WTF did you test again for? The cow was OK the last time...
Cover-up?
