Differences Between Cattle And Mad Cow Disease
Great Britain and other European countries have killed millions of cows over the past 15 years to prevent two diseases from spreading. The first disease is Foot-and-Mouth disease. The second disease is Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), also known a Mad cow disease.
