| CHeck back previous news coverage of what happened in Europe and how

| Of course a ban on downed animals (which I generally agree with) would
| do
| very little to deal with this as the generally accepted cause of the
| disease
| has a very unpredictable dormancy phase. Perfectly healthy seeming
| animals
| can be just as infectious as "downed" animals.
|
| I'm not sure what to do to solve this, but I'm concerned that
| reinstating
| the ban on downed animals could be seen as a "fix" for this issue when
| it's
| not.
|
| I wonder if stricter standards on the use of brain/nervous system tissue
| would help at all?
