Ok,I will insert an opinion.
Per the article, I agree with the philosophy, if its illegal in your state, it presents the possibility of HELPING SPREAD not causing CWD and Tuburculosis, and you don't need it to attract one of the 1.2 million deer in the state, then why do it.
I take a chance every time I get on an airplane that I will die in a plane crash. But since it's never happened to me.....I don't give it much thought when I fly.
There has NEVER been a case of CWD reported in my state. Yet, we allow baiting.
If it's illegal in your state......there doesn't need to be ANOTHER valid reson not to do it.
