How will the traditional Polish meat eater react to the third case of BSE?

The State Veterinarian Institute has confirmed the third case of BSE in Poland. This time from the Opolskie voivodship, located in the South-West. The voivodship veterinary doctor in Opole, Kazimierz Dubinski, said the alarm was first raised on Friday in a slaughterhouse. "The disease was found during a routine inspection. On Sunday, the Veterinary Institute in Pulawy confirmed beyond any doubt that the cow was infected with BSE...the cow's mother came from the Netherlands, and so far has not shown any signs of the illness. The affected proteins characteristic of BSE were only present in one cow. The carcass has been destroyed," Dubinski said. The cow was taken from a heard 800 strong. Now between 60 to 80 will be put down, which are the cows that were born one year before and after the infected cow. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A4) M.T.
