one of the hot potatoes of Korea as of this moment is the FTA. More specifically the part about importing American cow. The nickname for American cow is crazy cows. This name was given to them because of the mad cow disease.
The obvious reason why Korean citizens oppose to bringing “crazy cows” to their table is obviously becuase it is lethal to eat a cow that has been found to be on mad cow disease.
Moreover the thing that bothers Koreans is that the Korean government is giving up the people’s health so that they could achieve the goal of economic development.
My opinion about the government importing the American cow is positive. Of course if we do start buying them the risks of mad cow disease is present and of course it will danger the farmers of Korea, but there are a lot more benefits to FTA than just buying cows.
With the profit the government makes, they will have to strongly support the Korean farmers and since the government announced that they will stop importing American cows if they are found to be with mad cow disease, it’s not a bad dicision to wait and see for the Korean people.
