[QUOTE="Bone Collector, post: 5800860, member: 7419"] This is where my issues with the CWD “scare” begin. I might be wrong but I’m near certain, there has never been a confirmed case of CWD spreading to a human. The fact that mad cow disease jumped to humans one time in the 90s is not proof positive it can happen with CWD. [USER=17]@BSK[/USER] already covered my second issue with the CWD “scare” when he talked about predatory animals eating tainted deer and becoming carriers. On that note if it’s possible for us to catch it from eating deer then these other animals would have it, like wise cows eating tainted grass would catch it and 100% that would have alarm bells ringing. Third issue is it’s been around for 50+ years. People have eaten tainted meat… why the panic now. If there was a real threat to humans I think we’d have more than 9 test stations or however many there are. As [USER=2805]@megalomaniac[/USER] mentioned you can beat this with genetically modified deer that are resistant, which I’ve read are already in existence. [/QUOTE]
