Alternative theory as to the source of BSE in british cows.

Theory goes that one or more people in India suffered with a degenerative brian condidtion akin to (or actually) Creutzfeld-Jacob Disease, and thier bodies found thier way into animal feed which was shipping over here and fed to our cows.

Has met certain resistance apparently, but is every bit as plausible scientifically (according to people who know about this sort of thing) as the previously accepted theory (that sheep suffering with some disease I can't remember the name of (scropes or something like that) found their way into animal feed.
