[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5281370, member: 17"] The biggest problem with Natural Selection doing away with CWD is how slowly CWD kills. Some mature deer are found that are positive but showing no clinical signs of the disease (not getting sick). Natural Selection works best when a disease kills quickly, only leaving the immune to reproduce and pass on their genetic immunity. If an animal can live a long life while being infected and infecting others, Natural Selection has nothing to select for. [/QUOTE]
