USDA REFUSED TO RELEASE MAD COW RECORDS

STEVE MITCHELL UPI - Although the United States Department of Agriculture
insisted the U.S. beef supply is safe Tuesday after announcing the first
documented case of mad cow disease in the United States, the agency for six
months repeatedly refused to release its tests for mad cow to United Press
International. The USDA claims to have tested approximately 20,000 cows for the
disease in 2002 and 2003, but has been unable to provide any documentation in
support of this to UPI, which first requested the information in July. In
addition, former USDA veterinarians tell UPI they have long suspected the
disease was in U.S herds and there are probably additional infected animals.

PR WATCH - Sheldon Rampton and John Stauber�s 1997 book Mad Cow USA warned that
unless the US adopted the same strict regulations implemented in Britain,
including a ban on feeding rendered slaughterhouse waste as animal feed, mad cow
disease would eventually emerge in the US. The US failed to act and late Tuesday
the Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman announced that the first US case of mad
cow disease has appeared in a "downer cow" in the state of Washington. 

Within minutes of USDA�s news conference John Stauber was interviewed on CNN and
Rampton or Stauber were interviewed in The New York Times, The Guardian and
other media refuting the reassuring spin of the USDA.  Center for Consumer
Freedom, a tobacco, booze and food industry front group, wasted no time
attacking Rampton and Stauber on behalf of its corporate funders such as
Excel/Cargill, National Steak & Poultry, Outback Steak House, Tyson Foods,
Wendy�s, Whitecastle and others. 

You can read an interview Stauber gave this August warning that the disease was
likely also in the US. In related news, Nature reports what might be the first
case of human mad cow disease spread by blood transfusion. In laboratory
experiments blood plasma can spread mad cow-typed diseases, but the US
government allows calves to be fed milk formula containing cattle blood plasma
as a source of protein

PR WATCH - After Seattle, Washington TV station KIRO-TV aired an investigation
last year into the cattle industry�s continuing sale of downer cows for human
consumption, the station came under attack from the industry as well as state
and national government regulators.  According to KIRO reporter Chris Halsne,
"Perhaps, the USDA didn�t want proof that their meat inspectors failed
repeatedly to perform a proper inspection of downer cows outside a
slaughterhouse in Chehalis. ...  Big-money beef and dairy promoters are out to
protect themselves, their industry, their profits and their political interests
by silencing future journalists who dare question them." 

KIRO�s investigative team found that "meat from dying, sick or diseased cows" is
"getting into your food." After the report aired, a "host of state agencies"
spent "tax money in a campaign to discredit our findings." KIRO stands by its
story, even though "The Washington Beef and Dairy Commissions have been
conducting a public relations campaign, criticizing KIRO-TV for broadcasting the
stories of downer cows you just saw. You may not know, but you�re paying for
this government agency to attack our investigation."
