[QUOTE="Pigsticker, post: 252848, member: 209"] Truth is, we know very little about CWD and it's effects or ability to kill. We know very little about it's transmission. We know very little about it's longevity in the environment, we know very little about it's effects on it's hosts, we know very little about it period. What the GnF is using is not science. They are simply banning baiting to appear to be proactive when in fact they know nothing about the disease. Doing something is better than nothing right?
