A UK report on BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) commonly called Mad Cow Disease places the blame on many organizations and politicians for the spread and growth of BSE and its human form vCJD ( Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease ). 1. The danger to the public was not identified quickly enough. 2. The Government did not inform the public quick enough. 3. Recycling of animal protein in ruminant feed was the main cause of the spread of the disease and should have been identified much earlier. 4. Ministers were more concerned with damage caused by panic to the beef industry than the health of it's citizens. There were 3,253 cases of BSE identified and 18 human deaths from vCJD. __
