Message: <blockquote data-quote="Fritz the Cat" data-source="post: 244296" data-attributes="member: 605">Thanks Brew,Louisiana Rep. Ralph Abraham is the sponsor of HR 837 or the House companion Bill to Barrasso's Senate Bill. If they stick with money for research, they are on the right track. Formally known as <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/837/cosponsors?r=1&s=1" target="_blank">HR 837</a>, the bill calls for both the Secretaries of the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of Agriculture “to partner with the National Academies of Science to study and identify the ways CWD is transmitted between wild, captive and farmed cervids (deer, caribou, elk and moose),” <a href="https://abraham.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/abraham-bill-aims-stop-chronic-wasting-disease-deer-0" target="_blank">according to a statement </a>from Abraham’s office. Its original co-sponsors include Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-Pa., Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Tex., and Rep. Trent Kelly, R-Miss., among others.“These agencies have the scientists for this already, they just need the funding,” he said, explaining monetary resources for the initiative will likely come from the agencies themselves. The National Academy of Sciences are supposed to be neutral territory. However, the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies are going to be leaning in there hard to get them to listen to their Best Management Practices Resolutions that they just passed. Can't find much about research in their package, just a lot about prevention, surveillance and monitoring.</blockquote>
