Default RE: Chronic Wasting Disease

cwd has been around for over a quarter of a century now

it is not a new desease it is just making headlines

to date there still has not been a case where it was transmitted to humans

it is alot like mad cow desease but it does not transmit to cattle therefore it is not the same and i truly believe it is unable to transmit to humans
(there is many cattle ranches in wyoming where deer and cattle intermingle along with substancial amounts of open range if it was transmittable it would have happened by now)

i live with it in my back yard. i will not shoot a sick looking dear but that doesnt have anything to do with CWD i would not eat a sick looking animal of any sort cow pig etc
