I agree with OT. Every deer or elk farm should be closed and animals disposed of in a safe way. The track of the spread can definitely be linked to captive cervid establishments. This disease is a one way street and all the infected animals are going to die. Apparently it is fairly contagious since there have been numerous captive hunting facilities that have shown CWD outbreaks and later on the wild animals in close proximity have also shown diseased. This disease poses the biggest threat to our deer and elk hunting heritage. Can you imagine the fallout when and if CWD crosses the cervid / human threshold.
