You’re right. Part of that was due to some capitalist who decided that all the leftovers fom butchering cattle could be ground up and made into cattle feed … and all the sick and dead cattle were added into that as well (so the yards wouldn’t have to lose any money).
They don’t do that anymore for obvious reasons, so BSE is still found occasionally but no where near the numbers we had in the 90’s.
Farmers don’t harvest obviously sick cows, but BSE still spread in the UK.
I don’t know that I would be willing to take the risk right now.
