Thanks, I appreciate the info. Just so you all don't think I've been living in a cave, I want to say that I too knew that consuming the tissue was the way it was transmitted, even for cows, sheep, some game (there's an Elk form, I'm pretty sure), so I understood the "canniblism" element.

I just mistakenly believed that you could classify a prion transmitted illness, like I wanted to say "it's a virus" or "it's a bacteria," or "it's congential" (which weirdly, I think it can be with at least the human version). But I think prion disease is actually the classification.

I tend to think it's probably less likely to actually occur in cloned meat than bred meat, but I really don't know anything about it.
