Scientists Fear 100% Fatal ‘Zombie Deer Disease’ Will Mutate to Infect Humans: ‘There Are no Contingency Plans’
New York Post ^ | Feb. 20, 2024 | Andrew Court

Scientists are sounding the alarm over the spread of “zombie deer disease” amid fears it may evolve to infect humans.

Late last year, experts confirmed Yellowstone National Park’s first case of the infection — officially known as chronic wasting disease — after a deer carcass found in the Wyoming area of the park tested positive for the highly contagious disease. Now, cases have been reported in deer, elk and moose in 33 states across the US, as well as in Canada, Norway and South Korea.

The disease “damages portions of the brain and typically causes progressive loss of body condition, behavioral changes, excessive salivation and death,” according to the New York State Department of Health. It is 100% fatal, and there are no treatments or vaccines.

They will only release the latest variant after they have given all the elitists the antidote.

Generally out here in Kansas it happens when hunters bait their deer with corn on the ground or a mineral lick, where many deer congregate together, if one of the animals has it they can transmit it easily. The Department of Wildlife and Parks wants to ban the practice. For the sake of the Kansas deer herd I hope they can get legislation passed.

I guess we now know what the new election variant will be.

Historically, pandemics hit the world once every other century. Now its every other week.

“But how do deer catch it? They don’t eat flesh,”

That’s a good question, I know it has been around ... but it had to come from somewhere?

“bait their deer with corn on the ground”

In Georgia, some of us know to broadcast our corn over a very large area ... multiple acres ...
Like an acorn fall.

Unless you really just want to feed raccoon and possums ...

just saying.....

Obviously all the whitetails are going to have to get mail-in ballots. They better hurry before they drop dead, though. The dropboxes are already set up and ready to go in:
* Deer, Arizona
* Deer, Arkansas
* Killdeer, North Dakota (I have heard the deer are objecting to this one)
* Lame Deer, Montana (the deer are feeling insulted by this one)
* Deer Park, Texas
* Deer Park, Washington
* Deer Park, New York
* Deerfield, Illinois

I didn’t say it was me that does it, but I know hunters who do. I don’t even hunt the critters anymore. I feed them with my crops, they take money out of my pocket. You wouldn’t believe what a herd of 12-15 deer can do to the edge of a soybean field. Looks like a lawn mower came through there on the first three or four rows. I plant two acre food plots of clover and alfalfa, that brings them in and they’re spread out.
