Should NYS allow any animal that hasn't been tested into state? I'd say NO!
I agree Charlie. I'm not certain how one goes about testing a live deer or if it's like mad cow where you have to test brain matter, but it's certainly in the best interest of the state, the herd and the sportsman and women of the state to contain CWD. If that means not allowing the importation of animals from states known to be infested with the disease that that is a good step. Maine and New Hampshire have laws that target just that.

It's pretty safe to say that CWD will be all but impossible to irraticate. The best option is to contain it and I don't think trucking animals all over the country is the right way to accomplish containment.
