Jorgy,
Many years ago there was a disease that was spread much the same in livestock as this is in deer, it was also able to spread to humans. It is called anthrax. There was no question on what to do with this the animals were distroyed and burned. I think they were not allowed to place livestock in that area for x amount of time. I am not absolutely sure on the time thing but I seem to remember my Grandfather talking about this.
I know these are oranges vs apples but they have the same if not worse outcome so why mess with it. If it was my state I would say distroy them. It would be best for the many in the long run. You can talk about somthing untill everyone comes down with it or [:' (] fix the problem. It will take a tole on things and it WILL NOT be easy but in the long run (with no type of treatment) this is what you are looking at.
