Hemosiderin is a form of iron storage protein. In captive zoo
animals .. giraffe they have been shown to manifest CJD in
the zoo but in the wild generally seem to be immune to it. It
is hypothesized the feeding of MEAT to these herbivores leads
to the CJD.
This snip shows in the vegetarian Lemur .. in captivity
they manifest / produce hemosiderin deposits .. leading to
liver disease.
I will assume they TOO are given the same food as the giraffe
.. pelletized animal carcass as a 'protein' supplement.
Would anyone know how to do a quick search to see if
hemosiderin is present in the vegetarian population .. man ..
? Since it is THE 'long term' storage form of iron protein ..
in theory this iron protein would NEVER exist in a vegetarian
.. to any great level.
15) Pathological features
In captivity, lemurs often develop generalized hemosiderosis
and, consequent to hepatic fibrosis, they may suffer from
neoplasms of the liver and bile ducts. These afflictions have
been attributed to a greater avidity for iron absorption, as
apparently they are unknown in freshly captured animals
(Gonzales et al., 1984).

plant to animal alters the membrane fatty acid composition
of ruminant tissue is presented by comparing zoo giraffe
with the same species from their natural habitat. The
membrane changes seen are similar to those used
experimentally to make animals susceptible to basic brain
protein and encephalomalacia. Similar membrane responses
have been noted in cattle. Use of animal protein and
increased nitrogen in cattle feeds would lead to a relative
deficiency of essential fatty acids in the cell membranes
and hence reduced membrane stability. By analogy with crazy
chick disease (nutritional encephalomalacia) and
experimental encephalomyelitis in rats, the possibility that
the changes in animals feeds would have depleted cattle
tissue membranes and made them susceptible to bovine
spongiform encephalopathy is discussed. The assumption being
made is that the principle of a requirement of essential
fatty acids for neural integrity and immune system function
would apply to cattle as well as to other species.
