Australian imports of beef from countries with BSE (Mad Cow disease)
March 8th, 2010The good news: Tony Burke has just announced that due to public concern, there will be a 2 year delay on allowing the importation of beef from countries where BSE (Mad Cow) cases have been recorded.

By law, imported pet food has had to to be irradiated, to ensure no pests and diseases are imported into Australia. As pet food is made from the very worst rubbish meat and scraps that can’t be sold for […]
