WASHINGTON - A cow in Alabama has tested positive for mad cow disease, the Agriculture Department confirmed Monday.
A routine test last week had indicated the presence of the disease. Results were confirmed by more detailed testing at a government laboratory in Ames, Iowa, said the department's chief veterinarian, John Clifford.
U.S. investigators have found two previous cases of mad cow disease. The first was in December 2003 in a Canadian-born cow in Washington state. The second was last June in a cow that was born and raised in Texas.
Good. Those poor cows. Being force-fed the crushed up body parts of their own species - No wonder they got sick.

I wish I could become vegetarian, but we can't afford it. And my hubby couldn't be vegetarian, so we'd be eating seperate meals every night. Someday we'll be financially comfortable enough that I can get rid of meat.
