Be interesting to see what happens to the brains of people having eating infected meat in about five years...
Will Wisconsin people turn into Ilinois-like people.......

Wisconsin launched a massive effort last year to combat CWD in the wild. The state aims to eliminate the wild deer population in a roughly 400-square-mile zone west of the capital city of Madison, in which all of the state's cases have been found.

Other newspaper accounts of this story have said that this "elimination" would continue for 5 consecutive years. How do you eliminate the entire deer populaion over a 20 x 20 mile area — and make sure it stays that way for 5 years?

This is very disturbing. I always thought that if worse came to worst I'd be able to feed my kids with my 30.06. Now I really begin to think that this may not be such a swell idea in a few years. The rest of y'all can be the guinea pigs for this experiment in epidemiology, if you like; I'll wait until the all-clear signal sounds.

My question is, how the heck did the deer get it? We understand the etiology of the disease in cattle, but deer don't eat ground-up toxic deer, so...?
