I don't know about blood meal. I'll ask my state veterinarian when I talk
to him and report back. (He's the one who told me it's safe to use bone
meal in the garden again.)

What do they make bone meal out of?

Ground up bones! Before Mad Cow disease hit, they ground up cow bones.
They probably grind up horse bones or something now. They're using bones
from animals that can't get BSE.

You have a reference for this or is it something you just made up? Some
countries including the U.S. have banned the use of cow bone meal in cow
feed and soon most countries may do that, but this has nothing to do
with the use of bone meal as a garden soil supplement.

surrendered for whatever good reason are freedom lost."
