And it happened again in Eau Claire county Wisconsin this summer! Again there is a poor track record of High fence deer farmers, they need to be banned.
Yes what the state of Iowa would like you tp believe...Truth is that only 2 out of all those animals were CWD positive in both brain and nodes.For a deer to be 100% positive it has to be found in the brain. They only found it in the nodes in the rest which means they only had the gene to carry CWD....Just as people carry the cancer gene without having cancer. That case was a joke in Iowa which is why at court they lost the battle and it cost them a cool 1.6 million to the farmer.
The best part was hearing was hearing them admit that CWD was not a highly contagious disease. Under oath in front of the judge. That farm is no longer under lock down and they are free to use their property again! As they should. States cant just yank peoples land away from them and say they are locked from using it as they see fit. Hence the 1.6 of taxpayers monies lost by that states strong arming of private citizens. Cost them a pile!
