U.S. Pets at risk for Mad Cow Disease

The Harvard Center for Risk Analysis looked at the risk to U.S. citizens of mad cow disease in 2001 and again in 2003. The Harvard report determined the risk to be very low to humans. The study felt that as long as the FDA and USDA continued with current restrictions to processing ‘at risk’ meat materials into human food, and with current restrictions to processing ‘at risk’ animal material into animal feed of ruminants (cattle, sheep, pigs), the risk to humans would remain low. Unfortunately, it is a different story for our pets. Current regulations allow ‘at risk’ materials to be processed into pet food and it is a very common practice.

Would Fido Like to go on that Bike Ride with You?

Bicycles provide a wonderful and freeing mode of transportation. The bicycle was first invented in Europe in the nineteenth century. Today it is the world’s most popular vehicle.

Bicycles and horse buggies were the two biggest modes of private transportation just before the automobile was invented. Bicycles are pragmatic, functional, and efficient. They are a big component of a healthy urban transportation system. The bicycle is a simple and elegant machine, attracting kids of all ages and adults.

It is a wonderful, freeing sport that brings health and joy to millions of people everywhere.
