We Will Fight for our Bovine Freedom!    -Tuesday, March 09, 2004   -1:44 am-

I found this today. I thought it was merely funny. However, someone very smart (Mary) told me it's actually a political commentary piece on Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy and Avian Influenza (H5N1), both of which have recently been found in America. Avian Influenza can be transmitted to humans and is fatal in about 33% of cases. It is not known if BSE can directly infect humans, though it is possible that the recently discovered Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease is potentially caused by exposure to BSE.
