At least with typhoid there is a test that will eventually show an active infection.
Chronic wasting disease? It's a prion disease like Mad Cow, Kuru or Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, no treatment, no cure, and more to the point, THERE IS NO TEST!
You would willing risk spreading a horrible, slow, nasty wasting disease to a safe area? A disease we think might spread to humans?
I'm glad you aren't in charge of public health.
Heck, you'd probably throw open the borders to anyone who could crawl across, no matter how ill, no matter what diseases they carry, as long as they vote for the right party, work for the right wage, or have lots of cute kids!
oh wait...
Damn dude.
Take a Valium.
I am an animal lover. To be perfectly frank, I don’t really care what happens to humans.
I mean just look at this post you wrote me.
I’d rather spend time with a fawn with Mad Deer disease than you anytime.
Do you have Mad Human disease? Because it really seems like you do.
I sure hope it doesn’t spread to anyone else...oops way to late for that, isn’t it...
If the disease does not ever manifest itself in any way whatsoever, then that disease doesn't exist. Such a disease exists; so it must have symptoms. Perhaps there is no quick test that you can do to find out if the animal is infected. But it only means that the animal stays in the shelter until the answer becomes known. The only way to contract the disease is to eat the deer, and I don't think that it's very likely at the shelter.
Legally, the LEOs could have been correct, and transportation of a wild animal without proper paperwork is prohibited at least in this state (CA.) But going around and shooting Bambies is not how you should spread love. The deer did not know what hit him. It's the people who were hurt. Humans do not hunt fawns for a reason. Traditional hunting societies respect life; they only take a grown animal, and only when necessary. Humans of all societies are reluctant to hurt the young.
