That's right. I personally believe there are other factors besides cows 
eating animal stuff. Seems to me there was a population in, maybe Kentucky 
or Tennessee, that had some bad results from eating local squirrels. And I 
am pretty sure there was a fairly recent report where eating wild deer and 
elk caused similar health effects.
