Great Britain and BSE

The United States had seen the effects Mad Cow disease had on the economy o Great Britain which likely prepared the United States for all cases seen in the states. BSE in Great Britain was an awful experience. The first cause of Mad Cow appeared in the mid 1980’s. By 1993 over 1,000 cases of BSE were being reported every week! By this time there were nearly 160,000 infected cows in the country, which was around 50% of the dairy cattle. The situation only worsened once people began eating the infected meat.
