LMAO@ this guy. You seriously need to get some Google time and look up your subject matter fella. Cancer and CWD couldn't be MORE different. As I stated in the previous post, there is NO genetic proclivity for or against the CWD prion. There is no genetic barrier at this point and time in the evolution of the whitetail species. Maybe over time mother nature will allow one to be erected but for now. Nadda. Cancer on the other hand is a whole different ball game. It's a CELLULAR disease not an invasive prion. There is a cancer gene as most anyone knows, there isn't a prion gene because it's not a GENETIC DISEASE like cancer. Reading is fundamental BigTime1. Give it a try and quit trying to blow so much smoke up peoples rears and you might just learn a thing or two! Have a nice night, wife and I are catching up on the History show "Vikings" so that should give you a little while to bone up. Maybe you can actually bring something other than a pea shooter to this gunfight
