Mad Cow Found in Goat

(Brussels, Belgium) European Union Food Safety Authority scientists confirmed today that a case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) has been found in a goat slaughtered in France in 2002. Officials stated that there are 11.6 million goats in the 25-nation EU but there is little risk that humans will become infected. However, they also say there is insufficient information to assess the risk.

Frankly, the EU's assertions concerning mad goat risk don't make any sense to me.
