The attempt to make people believe that CWD is spreading like wildfire thanks to the deer breeders is fake news.The Deer Breeding Industry has spent far more in medical research in attempt to understand and combat CWD then tpwd would even consider.

Y'all need to do a simple search of this guys name on the internet. Its hysterical what comes back. I can never ask this guy a serious question on this topic again.

Spot on therancher, I feel flounder is attempting to cause wide spread panic about now the dangers in the consumption of venison. I also agree that more concern should be shown to anthrax which wiped out better than 50% of the deer population on a friends ranch in Uvalde as well as a better ability to battle EHD and Blue tongue. The attempt to make people believe that CWD is spreading like wildfire thanks to the deer breeders is fake news.The Deer Breeding Industry has spent far more in medical research in attempt to understand and combat CWD then tpwd would even consider.

Terry Singletary — A retired machinist and high school dropout, Terry Singletary suffered the tragic loss of his mother to “sporadic” Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in 1997. Desperate to find an explanation for his mother’s death, he has devoted himself to the sad and fruitless task of connecting her death to her diet. Various reports confirm that Mrs. Singletary’s life was claimed by the most common sub-type of CJD (one that accounts for 70 percent of “sporadic” cases). Sporadic CJD, unlike its newer “variant,” is not linked to meat.
As the self-appointed international coordinator of CJD Watch, an organization he co-founded with social worker Deborah Oney, Singletary is cited in media reports as an apparent expert on tracking mad cow disease. This despite his lack of formal education and the absence for support from any credible academic, medical or scientific authority. His sensationalist allegations about the safety of U.S. beef have found their way into hundreds of newspapers and broadcasts. Singletary moderates a mad-cow discussion forum run by a vegetarian activist group; his contributions account for more than half the traffic on the “BSE-L” mailing list, which is generally read by real scientists. Animal rights activists and other food-scare artists frequently refer to him as “Dr. Terry Singletary,” apparently an honorary degree as he has yet to finish high school.
Like many activists, Singletary ignores overwhelming epidemiological and laboratory evidence that rules out a connection between sporadic CJD and beef. Relying entirely on shallow circumstantial evidence and frequent repetition of claims which have been publicly refuted as false, he also blindly insists upon a mad-cow with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Lou Gehrig’s disease. His specific allegations have been clearly refuted by Centers for Disease Countrol and Prevention scientists in the journal Neurology
