Unless they get booster #3. That should fix them up.

I guess there isn’t enough money in it for research? But as with all diseases in nature, the strongest will survive.

All the deer have to do is mask up!
Solves everything.

This is related to mad cow, but is much more easily transmitted. These prions are scary, and I think that at some time in the future they will become a very big problem.

Gotta be caused by climate change. For sure.

Here,I’ll translate: “Waaaahh! The Trump-loving deplorables are out killing Bambi! We need something to whip up fear, to keep them out of the woods, like COVID-19 kept the proles out of the churches! CWD! Yeah, that’s the ticket! Scare ‘em that if they eat ANY ‘deer meat’, that they will get brain damage!”

Hmmmm... I thought it was COVID that all (80%) the deer were supposedly contaminated with...

“”Limited surveillance of the disease in deer dates back to the 1990’s. But, Hesting said, since then, the number of deer infected has grown “exponentially.””

Couple of things to remember here CWD didn’t just start in the 90’s, it’s always been around and the Whitetail population is higher than it’s ever been.

Prions are serious business.

So far, the disease hasn't jumped from deer to humans

To Fauci and friends that sounds like a challenge...

And it’s very likely it can and does spread to humans.

Here’re some fun to read articles:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovine_spongiform_encephalopathy

https://www.nytimes.com/1997/08/29/us/kentucky-doctors-warn-against-a-regional-dish-squirrels-brains.html

Prions are one of nature’s own population controllers.

Something that’s bothered me since living in Germany 35-40 years ago.

I can’t donate blood because of BSE and I ate meat while living there.

If the American Red Cross/blood banks still exclude people like me there’s some validity to the idea these prions are still affecting us, or can. We know they do, but if the threat from BSE is real, where are all the cases in humans?

Could explain the prevalence of Dementiacrats and general global societal decay.

Won’t keep me from eating meat. Vegans are just nuts. (JMHO)

here in michiganstan, we have been dealing with this for decades.. so far it has been contained to several area’s..

bait bans and the limited removal of carcasses has pretty much kept it in check.
I say the only way is to eradicate the herd in the infected area. sounds cruel, but slow starvation is even more cruel

Anytime there is an overpopulation in the animal world a virus seems to materialize and thin out the population. I have seen this happen in the rabbit overpopulation in the past. With out extreme over population in the deer numbers maybe the same thing is happening.
It happens in man too but we strive to control it. The Black Plague is a good example.

I lean toward your thinking. Taking control of the food supply being the goal.

The deer population has exploded here this year. They look healthy, knock on wood.
