Couldn’t they have quarantined the fawn until they were certain it was disease free and then taken it to the preserve it was going to go to? If it had the CWD, I could see it being euthanized, but just to kill it outright without testing for it? Why did they have to kill it right off the bat? Because they were the same type of vermin as the cops who shoot dogs for no reason.
CWD is know to have an incubation period of up to 16 months. Every time giggles peed or pooped she’d be contaminating the soil, every tick, every flea risks further spread.
The state is looking at the possibility of having to utterly wipe out existing herds and wait years for the soil to decontaminate before restocking. NO ONE wants to do that. It would be devastating to the ecosystem and the economy, but they may be left with no choice to avoid even worse problems.
Little miss treehugger wanted to export the possibly infected deer to a clean state.
