[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 3204378, member: 1409"] I think we have some very serious worries right now in TN regarding deer farming. We have one state legislator in particular who has been pushing to legalize deer farming so he can be among the first to have one. Always best to be among the first on any type scheme, especially if your primary customers would be expected to be other deer farmers. Another angle of concern is that government and politicians like to grow their size and power. If deer were regulated in TN like livestock, this could cause significant growth of our Dept. of Agriculture, but mainly at whose expense? And who suffers most the consequences of their mistakes and misjudgements? Don't know about what lobbyist represent whom, but I wouldn't put much stock in TX research applying equally to what could happen in TN. TX is an arid climate, TN is humid. The difference in climate alone can result in very different risk factors. But my primary concerns regarding deer farming has nothing to do with human consumption of the meat. I'm more concerned with how deer farming disparages the future of traditional hunting; I'm more concerned with how deer farming puts native wild deer at risk for disease. [/QUOTE]
