Prevent Mad Cow Disease

Thesis: Humans are designed to drink human milk, not cow’s milk. Humans should really old drink milk during infancy and that’s because all of the hormones in cow’s milk can cause many health issues.

     Mad Cow Disease, scientifically referred to as (BSE) Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, is a disease that affects those humans who eat the meat from infected cows. Mad Cow Disease is one of several fatal brain diseases called (TSE) Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy. (USDA) There was evidence of a new illness resembling the sheep disease scrapie. It was technically named BSE but quickly acquired the mad cow tag because of the way infected cattle behave. (CNN) In 1997, there was an award given to Stanley Prusiner, for concluding that a distorted protein called a prion was responsible for Mad Cow Disease, noted the long incubation period made it difficult to distinguish (Bryant).

The song Cows with Guns was written by Dana Lyons in 1996. The song came 2nd on the Australian country charts, and became popular because of his tours all around the world. There are lots of underlying messages, but the main ones are about slaughterhouses and battery farms, and how they are morally wrong and animals get mistreated. The song raises important issues about humanitarian treatment of animals and the industrial production of meat. The song also has a long historical connection to protest songs that expose wrongs in society.

Mad Cow disease has been heavily spoken about on the international news. Our hopes are that the disease will not spread into the United States, even though several people have died from the disease.

Of all the things that this week’s lesson could have begun with the strange description of how cattle are being humanely slaughtered in large commercial slaughterhouses was a huge surprise.

The first thing the book brings into topic the the small pox disease which first started in 1350 B.C. Killing between three and seven million people! Of the infected people that were fortunate enough to live, most of them were left blind. According to the text in 1717 the small pox disease spread to the west. When this happened people came up with the idea of inoculations. Inoculations is when an infected person purposely spreads the disease to a non infected person, hoping they can build an immunity faster and more efficiently. The disease causes a rash and the rash causes hemorrhaging. after about a week the rash will turn into boils covering the body and filling with puss, which leads them to burst. Leaving scars on survivors. Cow pox was

Why on earth, would someone ever, stick their hand up a cows butt? Well let me tell you why. Artificial Insemination or AI is the collecting of sperm from a male and inserting it into the reproductive tract of a female. Artificial insemination has many benefits like reducing many risks involved with breeding, drastically improves the genetics of your herd, increases weaning weight, and reduces bull costs.

The FDA and the USDA deem it safe for beef manufacturers to use ammonia in their meat filler. In fact “70% of meat filler contains ammonia” (Avila, “70 Percent of Ground Beef at Supermarkets Contains Pink Slime.”). Millions of Americans consume beef daily, and are unaware of what actually makes up the meat they are consuming. Because the hamburger is such a staple in many American’s diets it didn’t take long for someone to develop a cheap solution to produce more burger product for consumers, and to make a greater profit. Beef Products Inc. in South Dakota after lots of testing came up with the solution of injecting low grade beef with ammonia and creating a cheaper product by using fatty trimmings that were sold for pet food (Avila, "70

The main idea of the book was to tell why Hindus do not kill cows, why Muslims, Jews, or some Christians do not eat or even touch pigs, sometimes war is the only solution so it is not always the right choice but only choice, and that no matter what goes wrong, witches were always to be blamed. Hindus do not kill cows because they consider cows as mother god. Cows provide milk, their dung can be used to clean houses, and the cows can freely walk the streets and eat most anything, saving the cost of paying anything. Muslims, Jews, and some Christians do not eat pork let alone even touching it. This is because, Yahweh and Allah announced the pig is unclean. Pigs, when left in mud, eat their own urine and eat the mud they are rolling in around. In the early century whenever something went wrong it was blamed on the witches. Anyone who spoke against Christian beliefs were labeled heretics. Heretics is a person believing in or practicing religious heresy.

Cows are destroying our planet?! According to Margaret Lundberg they are. In Lundberg’s essay “Eating Green” the author states her belief “that our personal and global health [are] tightly interconnected, and what benefits one will benefit the other” (Lundberg 570). Lundberg than goes on to explain why a vegetarian diet will restore the environment. She lacks a realistic solution for her American meat-obsessed audience. Lundberg also used unreliable sources to over emphasize the effects that the meat industry has on the environment as well as shows no evidence that a vegetarian diet is actually good for the environment.

Have you ever craved a nice juicy piece of steak, but had to settle for the dry asparagus? This is what Hindu people who follow their cultural traditions have to deal with. The food practice that I am discussing is the avoidance of eating cattle in Hinduism. I will specifically focus on moral issues regarding killing and eating cattle in the religion as compared to other moral religious codes. In Western society most cultures don’t see a moral issue when eating beef. I know my family eats beef at least twice a week so I was always surrounded by the meat product. The reason I chose to write about why Hindus don’t eat cattle is because my roommate is Hindu and follows this cultural practice. I respect his ways and don’t judge him for not

As we all know cattle are pretty invincible when it comes to their stomachs being that they have four, but did you know that incorporating candy into cattle’s diet could be an alternative to some feed additives? No, this is not a joke, adding candy to a cows diet is the same as adding corn into their diet.

The genus Babesia is composed of tick-borne intraerythrocytic apicomplexan protozoans that cause babesiosis in mammals, including humans (Schnittger et al., 2012). The infection of cattle with Babesia bovis causes massive economic losses in the livestock industry worldwide (Bock et al., 2004; Malak et al., 2012). Similarly, Babesia gibsoni infects dogs worldwide, causing serious concern among pet owners with regard to animal health and welfare (Trotta et al., 2009; Yeagley et al., 2009). Cattle and dogs clinically infected with B. bovis and B. gibsoni manifest fever, anemia jaundice, hemoglobinuria, hypertensive shock, and more often deaths if left untreated (Bock et al., 2004).

Global meat production rose to a new peak of 308.5 million tons in 2013, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), a more than fourfold increase over the last five decades. Even more startlingly, meat production has grown 25-fold since 1800 (Horrigan, Lawerence &Walker, 2002). Globally, agriculture utilizes nearly 70 per cent of the world 's available freshwater. One-third of that percentage is used to grow grains to feed to livestock (ECOS, 2014). While the global meat industry provides food and a livelihood for billions of people, it also has significant environmental and health consequences for the planet. Over half of the water used in meat production
