[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 252856, member: 605"] The elk on the National Elk Refuge at Jackson Hole Wyoming also have Brucellosis. They travel out of Yellowstone National Park. Inside the Park the buffalo have the disease too. Brucellosis is a curable disease. Young females are bangs vaccinated every year until the old carriers (host animals) have passed. There in lies the problem, how to vaccinate "every" animal? If it could be administered orally then by all means feed them during winter. Brucellosis has been eradicated on the North American Continent except Yellowstone. The last remaining reservoir. What are federal and State wildlife agencies doing about Brucellosis? Nothing. If a cure for Chronic Wasting Disease is to be had, it has to be oral. An injectable antidote would do no good according to the example above. I had this conversation with Bob Kellum (moderator from nodakouthouse) years ago and he said it is not the fault of Yellowstone elk and buffalo because whiteman brought Brucellosis to North America. I replied, "that is true and another truism is that whiteman brought small pox. Where is smallpox now?" [/QUOTE]
