What you have to hope is that the american government doesn't over react the way the Canadian one did. There was only one cow found here but all the cows in that herd were killed and so were a few dozen other herds (any herd that the infected cow could have come in contact with) ranchers, farmers, slaughter houses, meat packing plants, butchers and so on all suffered because of just one cow.

Heck the boarders are just now opening again to Canadain beef.
