Attorneys at the Center for Food Safety in Washington say today they have petitioned the Food and Drug administration to ban the use of cattle blood in cattle feed - a practice linked to the spread of mad-cow disease among cattle and CJD, Creuzfeldt-Jakob Disease, among humans. Lawyer D'Arcy Kemnitz says, " The U.S. lags behind Britain and Europe in implementing safeguards in the feeding of animals and allows practices that should be banned, such as feeding pigs to pigs, pigs to cattle and cattle blood products to calves.
