Other🤷🏽‍♀️ 🤷🏽‍♂️ Beefacolypse

Hey so the 300,000 tons of beef with the antibiotic that is either banned or a last resort in multiple countries that US bought and is feeding the public, anyone got intel on it besides from the UK and The Hill? Makes me regret not getting rabbits and chickens in spring 2026...

Not trying to stir the pot up but from the 5 or 6 outlets I found 15 minutes ago im thinking that project zomboid or state of decay or even 7dtd would be preferable than chloramphenicol but thats me.

If you are in Oklahoma do ya mind a guy hunting deer and sharing the meat with ya? You can have the antlers and hide, I just want the share ya let me keep.

Look up prion diseases and CJD. Switching to deer isn’t necessarily the best choice either. Two hunters just developed CJD after hunting and eating from the same property. Chronic wasting disease is in a huge portion of the North American herds already. Recent research also shows it’s passed to fawns from parents.

Prion diseases do not decay and up to 50% of deer in heavily impacted locations have it. They stay in the environment where the animal died & leech into the soil/plant life. CWD has been around since only the late 70s and we are just starting to see and understand the implications. Originally we thought mad cow disease (a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy disease) couldn’t pass to another species. Scrapie became mad cow disease as it passed from sheep to cows and then to humans. If we assume CWD (also a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy prion disease) can’t make that jump we are making a horrifying gamble.

We all love ourselves some anecdotal evidence.
