Gotta go with Johnny on this one when it comes to Mad Cow disease. Farmers gave their cattle diseases by cutting corners when feeding the cows. They were feeding them ground up sheep brains amongst other things, which caused BSE in the cows in question. But then the same farmers had the cheek to demand compensation when their animal were culled, and to lobby the government to sue the French when they didn't repeal their ban on the meat.
The farming lobby in Europe - as ever very vocal and astoundingly cheeky.
