YES, one BSE-infected cow on a farm and all the herd should be destroyed - like in France.
Take what happens with Foot and Mouth disease. All the herd is shot and burned, plus all the sheep, all the pigs, all the goats and the cats and dogs.
Everything with a cloven foot is shot and burnt.
Only our friend the horse is left - he doesn't get it.
