   FEAR OF COW DISEASE IS SPREADING THROUGHOUT EUROPE

   France, Italy and Switzerland are considering measures to limit sales of beef after newly discovered cases of Cow Disease. Switzerland has issued a moratorium on beef to schoolchildren after two cases of confirmed contamination. Italy is considering a moratorium. The French minister of environment has refused an offer from farmers to kill off millions of cows to contain the contagion, BBC reports.
   At least eight tons of possible infected meat is sold to supermarkets in Europe. Three supermarket chains have admitted selling meat from infected farms.
   Eating infected meat leads to Creutzfeld-Jabobs disease, the human equivalent to Cow Disease, transferred from infected animals. In Great Britain its 81st victim, a young girl, died recently.
   - We've really been asking for this, a veterinarian said Saturday.- These are not random, isolated cases happening in a vacuum, but an inevitably result of past and present policy concerning "food-production", where the value of a life is counted in weight and cash. Animals being fed brains and spinal cords from dead animals. And countless others more or less, legal malpractices that will inevitably lead to even worse scenarios then the current one, caused by serving living beings fodder made from the dead.
