Incidence

In the UK in 1994 it was reported that one cattle herd was still being consumed while officials awaited results of a test for BIV, the cattle AIDS virus. It is suspected that 1 animal in 10 was BIV positive.

Counter-claim

Animals may appear in poor condition but this does not mean they are unfit for human consumption.
