[QUOTE="shorthairman, post: 244276, member: 6223"] For what it is worth, I am on the fence with CWD. On one hand you have a deadly (at least to deer and other ungulates) disease, and on the other those who say it is not something humans need to worry about. When one considers that its only common sense that if you eat something contaminated then you would in turn put yourself at risk of contamination. When I checked our deer in this past fall, I asked a Game and Fish Officer who was on site about CWD. I also mentioned a study done on primates that I had heard of where the primates had tested positive after being fed contaminated meat. Maybe it was the same as the one above in Canada??? Anyway, he told me that those primates were fed exclusively CWD infected meat for a considerable amount of time and that the primates did not actually contract the disease until the scientists began directly injecting the primates with the prions.
