[QUOTE="Pigsticker, post: 362155, member: 209"] Biology 101 on literally the first day of class: The theory of evolution including a species ability to evolve and adapt to environmental factors. This is literally beginner level biology stuff. Eradicating herds of deer that might be infected with a long-term disease is somehow considered good practice? This disgusting approach only reduces a species ability to naturally develop generational resistance or immunity. But what would I know, I only took some of the same biology classes that the "professionals" took in high school and college. A couple of years ago I asked one of the GnF big game biologists if he believed in the theory of evolution regarding CWD and he said, "not in this case, it's different". Yup he is right, what is different is that agents go out and snipe entire herds from the landscape and have yet to prove that this is an effective tool for controlling or eliminating the disease, especially when studies show a prion can remain active in the soil for years and can easily infect new deer repopulating an area after coming into contact with contaminated soil. Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it? But they read a few books, have a degree and subscribe to a document created by 30 people (AFWA) that tells them what the "best practices" are, so they are the "professionals". Think about that...that would be like subscribing to a climate change document created by only 30 people and using its guidelines as gospel for how we should manage carbon emissions, farming practices, energy production, etc. Before any of you point it out, I need to voice the disclaimer that I'm just an arm-chair biologist and the stuff I learned in school doesn't matter as it applies to CWD. I should just trust the "professionals" because they have done such a wonderful job at managing this disease so far :cautious: [/QUOTE]
