GENETICALLY ENGINEERED CANNIBAL COWS


Experts have long agreed that the fatal brain-wasting disease called
Mad Cow is spread by the routine practice on industrial farms of
feeding cows to cows---essentially turning natural herbivores into
cannibals. (This practice of course is banned on organic farms.)

GENETICALLY ENGINEERED CANNIBAL COWS


Experts have long agreed that the fatal brain-wasting disease called
Mad Cow is spread by the routine practice on industrial farms of
feeding cows to cows---essentially turning natural herbivores into
cannibals. (This practice of course is banned on organic farms.) Now a
group of industry-friendly scientists have come up with a "solution" to
the problem. Instead of discontinuing the practice of force-feeding
bovine herbivores blood, manure, and slaughterhouse waste, scientists
claim they have successfully genetically engineered a new cow that will
not contract Mad Cow Disease, even when fed infected meat from Mad
cows. Scientists have genetically engineered the cows to be born
without normal nervous system prions, which go awry when an animal
catches the disease. According to the researchers, the animals appear
to be doing fine, so they apparently don't really need those prions
anyway (even though they are there as a result of millions of years of
evolution).
