I still question the relation of BSE to CJD - it's unproven AFAIK, but why take the chance, a downer cow is down for a reason, who knows what it is!

I won't comment on the danger of mad cow disease from a "downed" animal or the sufferings of those animals living in their own feces. I will comment, however, that the toy-ama fling, was a fun toy for one of my cats, but I gave it to my daughter. She has more patience to supervise the playtime. The toy did say it should be used under adult supervision.
