Exhibition Label: "Qiu Anxiong: New Book of Mountains and Seas," Feb-2010, Kris Ercums Inscription: There is a cow in the British Isles in the Western Ocean. Its food is like viscera [the innards of animals] and it has been crazy for many years. If they eat this cow, humans become insane and die. The Islanders burn them without exception. Other kingdoms have stopped eating the cattle from that land. It is called the Mad Cow.
