with what was then an unknown killer: a prion.
By 1993. British farmers were reporting up to one thousand
new cases of BSE a week. Governments all around the

scrapie, they were tested as well. Farmers were angry that
they were losing their livestock, and nobody knew how to
protect cows and people from the disease.
Mad cow disease ended because of government bans
on feeding cows certain foods, but people were angry
that governments did not act sooner.

of cows and meat.
