I vote against the new forum.

You can talk about that stuff in any of the other forums, you don't need a special forum to discuss deer diseases. Secondly, the vast majority of our posters aren't qualified to discuss bovine and cervid diseases, so virtually nobody would visit the forum. If you find an article that is relevant, you can link to it from the deer hunting forum. Maybe I'm wrong here, but such a forum would be a ghost-town, and the subject matter can be discussed in several of the other forums available.

We can't just keep making new forums for every possible topic, it's counter-productive. If your goal is to disseminate CWD information, you're best-served to broadcast it in the general forums where us guys who aren't in-the-know can read it. If you make a separate Blue Tongue forum, the general populous won't go in there, and the information goes to waste.

I agree with your goals, it is very important that we spend more time talking about this stuff, but I think it's counterproductive to do it in an isolated forum.
