Hello. I am a grade seven student and part of a Debate Team. I will be representing my school with my partner and a couple other teams in the city-wide Stampede Debate, and I need some resources.

The resolution, or the topic, is BE IT RESOLVED THAT IT SHALL BE MANDATORY FOR EVERY BEEF CATTLE INTENDED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION BE TESTED FOR BSE.

If you have any information what so ever could you give me any references? I would appreciate it greatly. Biased opinions are also apreciated. Please have factual information, but if you have any ideas please help me. Thank you!

You'll have to do some separating of wheat from chaff, but there's an abundance of resources at this site.

Here's one excerpt regarding the cost of testing every cow:

Quote:
Hello, Jeff - I found the information. The cost is $30 per cow.

According to the article below, they are figuring in $10 for the test kit, then salaries, lab fees, cost of grinding up and delivering up cattle brain samples. I still think that even at $30 - 50 dollars each cow, the price is worth it.

The industyy will lose billions if nothing is done and testing is held at the bare - or less then bare minimum. In all, total testing of each cow would add about 6 to 10 cents per pound. Well worth the effort.
