Prions are a type of defective proteins, that can cause normal proteins to turn into defective, infectious ones: prion, word that comes from the term "proteinaceous infectious particle"; prions can cause neurodegenerative diseases. Unfortunately, even after scientists identified prions as the causal agents of the "mad cow" disease and others like the "kuru" (discovered in New Guinea, amongst a tribe that practiced cannibalism) and the "scrapie", the authorities tried to hide the epidemic, they took too long to ban the feeding of animals with mixes that included proteins from infected animals, so if authorities had implemented more actions since at least 1993 perhaps the epidemic could have been controlled earlier, instead of almost 25 years after the disease was identified.
In this sense, the author takes us step by step in the process (over time) and illustrates how people got frustrated because of the reaction of the government: nothing was done about the disease until over ten years after its discovery.

Answer:
"The Most Dangerous Game"is a 1924 short story written by Richard Connell. It is essentially a story about a big-game hunter who is forced to swim to an isolated island in the Caribbean, upon falling off a yacht.
The main conflict of the story is that between two men - two hunters. At the very beginning of the story, Rainsford (the protagonist) mentions that there are two classes of people in the world: the hunter and the huntee. Later on, Rainsford arrives on the island and meets a sociopath, Zaroff, who likes to play a rather peculiar game - he hunts other people out of boredom. Rainsford, although he sees no point in this game, is forced to play it and becomes "the huntee" in his own terms. This game, instead of being entertaining, becomes a dangerous fight for life between the two men.
