Of course they are. I wouldn't expect them to just admit that they caused the whole thing, even though it appears they did.

Can Bulls get the mad cow disease? I was wondering because McDonalds stocks have plummeted. McDonalds is well known to buy up bulls, not cows.

:lol: Linda, are you joking? It is actually Bovine Spongioform Encephalitis, or something like that, so it can affect anything of a bovine nature.

Really, this should be a wake up call to consumers. The cow that was the start of this was sold off as meat after she was paralyzed during calving. People don't realize how many sick, injured or even dead animals get sold off as meat stock.

LOL Anthony!! Actually I was being sarcastic. A co-worker insisted that bulls are immune from the mad cow disease. And she was furious that her shares of McDonalds was getting to the worthless stage. hehe.

Needs to be a wake up call to the Goverment as well

Yes, but we can't always hold the government responsible for what people tolerate. (I hope I don't sound too much like rainstorm :D No offense rainstorm) Yes, maybe these things should be regulated, but people know this stuff and still buy it. I think it should be the consumer responsible to know what he is getting, not depend on the government for everything, then we end up forfeiting our freedom.
