Bse comes up in 3 chapters across 2 episodes of The Higherside Chats Free Show, from April 2013 to November 2020.
Mad Cow Disease and USDA Lactic Acid Requirements
Doug Lindemood recounts the history of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), or Mad Cow Disease, which resulted from feeding ground-up animal carrion to herbivores. He explains that the USDA now requires all meat to be sprayed with lactic acid as a reactionary measure to prevent disease outbreaks caused by industrial farming failures.
Intelligence Agency Risk, Mad Cow Disease and Red Star Film
Kimball dismisses the theory that the military is responsible for cattle mutilations, noting that intelligence agencies are generally "risk-adverse" and would avoid the massive blowback of such a discovery. He concludes the interview by directing listeners to his website, RedStarFilmTV.com, and mentioning his upcoming feature film, *Damnation*, which explores themes of life and death.
Animal Rendering Industry, Mad Cow Protocols and Gaseous Swelling
A co-host provides an insider's perspective on the animal rendering industry, explaining how dead cattle are processed into bone meal and grease. He confirms that the government takes Mad Cow Disease (BSE) extremely seriously, often culling entire herds within a five-mile radius of an outbreak. He explains that "mutilated" appearances in fields are often caused by post-mortem gas swelling that causes carcasses to burst.
