I don't think it's safe and it shouldn't be practiced. The only reason it is not completely banned is because of money (it's cheap!).
As far as I'm concerned, there isn't enough scientific data to prove or disprove whether or not feeding cow blood to cows and other animals is harmful or not, and until it is absolutely proven safe it should be outlawed.
This is from the link you proved:
"It is still legal to feed sheep and cows to pigs and chickens and to feed pigs and chickens to one another and to cows, even though these practices have been banned in Europe, and cows’ blood continues to be fed to chickens, turkeys, and other farmed animals. In fact, European countries have instituted an array of safety precautions that have not yet been adopted in the U.S. to try to protect their populations from spongy brain diseases."
There is a lot of nasty shit you don't want to know about comrade. I've considered becoming a vegetarian but cannot because of my love for meat. I can hardly eat chicken anymore after learning about all the nasty shit and sometimes I cant enjoy bloody steaks as I have in the past.
It all boils down to money though. I mean even human waste is used as fertilizer across the US. You know that?

I believe just about every other country has banned it due to links to mad cow/hoof and mouth disease. But not the US. The us also is one of the few countries that hasn't outlawed BGH. The US also has yet to put any real stringent mad cow regulations/testing.
When you start looking into the quality of our food it really makes you wanna get your own plot of land and grow your own.

have any of you guys tasted the difference between store bought meat and natural unfucked up meat? my mom's employer has her own farm and we buy some meat from her. the steaks and all the meat taste muchhhhhh better. i definetly recommend buying from someone that doesnt insert all the hormones and nasty shit into the cows...
Most people aren't really concerned about mad cow disease specifically - it's not contagious by the usual means but must be consumed by the cow directly. The real problem is that it might be transmitted to humans as new variant Cretzfald Jacobs Disease (CJD), which is what caused a huge scare in Britain in the late 90s. Although there is some evidence of this occuring, it's shaky and the consensus is that the risk of catching NvCJD from eating infected cow meat is too low to worry about.
Mad cow, CJD and other diseases of that class are caused by protinaceous infectious particles, or prions. These are proteins which are mis-folded and for some reason cause identical proteins to misfold in the same way. This results in the formation of holes in the infected individuals brain, giving mad cow disease it's official name 'bovine spongiform encephalopathy' (holy cow brain, and not in the religious sense). Sheep suffered from a variant of BSE called scrapie long before we noticed it in cows. People from Papua New Gineau used to suffer from a prion disease called Kuru. When a loved one died, they customarily ate their brains to send them off to the afterlife. Several people would catch kuru and then die themselves. The cycle would continue indefinitely if it weren't for us identifying the cause and putting an end to brain-eating.
It should be stopped, but as 2-0-Sixx says - it all boils down to the money. A 1% increase in profits is worth the risk (why should the big fish settle with $500 million dollars when they can have $505 million?).
