When the mule began to die they killed them all and limed the pens. (1967) New mule deer introduced to those pens again began to die. They gave some to zoos and turned the rest free. (Colorado Wyoming)The zoos penned their mule deer next to their elk. The elk got it but mated making more. Zoos sold excess animals to ranchers. A Veterinarian in South Dakota raising elk ended up with some. Thinking they had pneumonia he lost a few, sold a few. His animals tested positive in 1997. <a href="https://www.fishwildlife.org/application/files/9615/3729/1513/AFWA_Technical_Report_on_CWD_BMPs_FINAL.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.fishwildlife.org/application/files/9615/3729/1513/AFWA_Technical_Report_on_CWD_BMPs_FINAL.pdf</a>Page 7Movement of infected live animals is considered one of the greatest risks for spreading CWD to new locations (Williams et al. 2002; Joly et al. 2003; Travis and Miller 2003; Belay et al. 2004). Movements of wild animals via migrations or dispersal have been implicated in the spread of CWD (Miller et al. 2000; Conner and Miller 2004; Miller and Williams 2004; Miller et al. 2006; Potapov et al. 2016) including probable transmissions from New Mexico to Texas, West Virginia to Virginia, Wisconsin to Iowa, and from Saskatchewan to Alberta. (I don't know what  we were paying these guys but it was probably way too much) CWD also has been spread via human-facilitated live captive cervid movements including 1) the spread of CWD to 38 captive elk herds in Saskatchewan that received elk directly or indirectly from a single infected herd (Argue et al. 2007) that apparently imported infected elk from South Dakota. NDbowman, they include their sources (Williams, Joly, Travis, Miller) to impress upon people their data collection. But did they tell you where the guy in South Dakota got it from? No, that wouldn't fit the narrative.</blockquote>
