PLAN SCHEME FOR SCRAPIE-AFFECTED FLOCKS

Interesting, is this the beginning of killing 40
million sheep?

independent scientific advisors, the Spongiform
Encephalopathy Advisory Committee (SEAC), animals that
are culled from participating flocks and shown to have
no genetic resistance to scrapie will, on a
precautionary basis, not go into the food chain. Under
current EU legislation any animals suspected of
showing signs of scrapie are already culled and
destroyed.

Why should sheep that show no genetic resistance to
scrapie not go into the food chain?
After all there is nothing wrong with them.
