Chronic Wasting Disease was found in 5 deer in West Virginia during the 2008 season. This is some scary stuff closing in on the Bluegrass with finds already in neighboring states like West Va. and Inidiana.
CWD is a neurological disease found in deer and elk, and it belongs to a family of diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. The disease is thought to be caused by abnormal, proteinaceous particles called prions that slowly attack the brain of infected deer and elk, causing the animals to progressively become emaciated, display abnormal behavior and invariably results in the death of the infected animal. There is no known treatment for CWD, and it is fatal for the infected deer or elk. It is important to note that currently there is no evidence to suggest CWD poses a risk for humans or domestic animals.

That's great. I hope nobody sees it in there state anymore. I'm terrified it's that close to the elk herd and our deer pop.

CWD, GAME FARMS, BAITING, AND POLITICS
Greetings,
IN regards to CWD, baiting, and game farms, science shows us that game farms can be nothing short of a Petri dish for prions. Science shows us also that BOTH (game farms and baiting) enhances the spreading of CWD, and with baiting, the enhancements comes from multiple routes i.e. feeding of TSE tainted feed to cervids and the horizontal transmission from humans by _non-natural_ enhancement of congregating cervids by feeding. So, if your feeding them 50 lb. bags of potentially tainted TSE feed, and or planting a food plot, or throwing a bucket of beets out, you enhance the potential for CWD. I see no political agenda for the ban on baiting and or the ban on game farms, if that is what it takes. ...

explain to me the food plot argument. I get baiting. I really don't understand game farms if the correct testing and vacinations are done. With food plots, it's no different than the deer or elk eating from a corn, alfalfa, or soybean field.
