We should have gotten rid of captive cervid breeders years and years ago. Unfortunately, they are considered deer farming and are now under the dept of Agriculture instead of our game agency and our department of ag would rather hide a violation than enforce laws and regulations. The cervid breeders lobbied to have the PGC removed from being the authority over them because the PGC had and enforced strict regulations regarding moving deer around the state and in and out of the state for breeding purposes. The legislature acquiesced and gave the responsibility to Agriculture. We knew it would just be a matter of time after that until it appeared in our wild herd. At one time CWD was confined to being west of the Mississippi, thanks to captive breeders moving deer around for the lucrative purposes of breeding, it is now east of the Mississippi.
