Tell me it's sponsored by PETA or something, because I'm not about to check.

I'll look it up later, because I have to go now. It's not called mad cow in humans, though, it's called something else. Starts with a C, ends with a -jacobs.

Human variant CJD? I forget the full name ;0)

From memory, BSE is (was?) thought to have arisen thanks to feeding cows dead sheep that had died from a specific disease. I want to say Foot and Mouth, but I'm not 100% on that.
