My main worry is when they were freakin out about this up north, they never really found a cure, but slaughtered a gillion deer and then everything got quiet. Kinda like how we had a huge HIV scare and now nobody even talks about aids anymore. Now Im not foolish enough to think that aids is gone, but it just reminds me of a scare that, well you just gotta wonder about. If anybody could have aids, it should be over run in America, especially with the ease of hooking up with a sexual partner or partners on the web. I can remember when a young gal that had been around a few times was considered a whore, and now its probably like? Its so common to have multiple sexual partners that nobody even thinks of the word whore unless they are prostitutes. This is my analogy please forgive me, but they seem similar and everything seems just fine in an un ethical kind of way. Hey they didn't have internet hook up when I was a single Lad.
Recently got a gym membership, strange folks! I like to show up the roid zombies with my full motion curls with the 55lb. bells. Not their cheater short stroked light weights. It's holarious.

I can't believe so many people on this forum are claiming that it is "illogical" to kill and test deer on a ranch where a cwd presence has been positively identified. That's ridiculous. There is nothing illogical about damage control in this situation. Limiting the spread of cwd takes precedence. That is completely obvious. It's illogical not to use this situation to learn all that you can. There is an experimental live test that hasn't been validated. If each animal to be euthanized were to have the live test prior to being euthanized for the postmortem test valuable data could be gathered. There is an experimental innoculant that show promise in be able to control the oral transmission of CWD it needs a larger study. There are highly resistant strains of sheep that are nearly immune to Scrapie, we don't know enough about deer genetics, to know if that's also true of deer.
for every stereotype there's a prototype don't be the prototype

There is nothing illogical about damage control in this situation. Limiting the spread of cwd takes precedence. That is completely obvious. Let me help then. Besides what nsmike said, they've tried to prevent it's spread by "killing them all" in almost every state that CWD is in. They have never been successful. It's really ignorant to keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results.

Flounder why do you post outdated stuff from 2012?
We have a live test that is probably as reliable as the post mortem tests .
