[QUOTE="BrockW, post: 432841, member: 5910"] I’ve never seen one assertion from anyone that baiting is the “cause” of CWD. What we know to be fact, is that it is horizontally transmitted and that we can find infectious prions in mineral licks, bait/feed piles, and on feeders where positive/infected deer eat. We know that when we put uninfected deer in with other infected deer, or make them eat out of troughs or off the ground where infected deer also eat, the disease spreads to the uninfected animals. The more they come into contact with those infectious materials/sites, the more deer become positive. So, the goal with removing baiting from the landscape is removing specific concentration points where deer are literally eating off the same plate, where they are pissing and shitting and depositing saliva into a small focused area, contaminating the feed/feeder, soil, etc and where they keep coming back to over and over and over again to lick/eat. None of that is a guess. [/QUOTE]
