Harrison County, MS CWD
Posted on 12/1/23 at 12:38 pm
Posted on 12/1/23 at 12:38 pm
The first positive Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) case for Harrison County has been reported.
Officials with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) said the buck was hunter-harvested.

None of the draconian methods these so called wildlife agencies come up with re: CWD work…period.
These arbitrary CWD zones where mass extinction gets practiced is unscientific…unless they put up 15 foot fences around the zones with manned security checking….
Yep…Orwellian and all a big waste of $…until they definitively show CWD is transmittable to humans via consumption then states need to stop being Chicken Littles.

I would appreciate those downvoting give a logical, objective defense to carrying on with this CWD zone nonsense…

I personally don’t want anyone carrying a whole deer out of a known CWD zone. And I would like to know when a deer tests positive for CWD and what location it was killed

Also, in La at least, we are currently in the “just the tip” phase of a near future state-wide ban on feeding.

Feeding needs to be banned. Also, the population needs to be majorly thinned out. People are farming deer without any restrictions on herd health, size, fences, etc etc etc. Most private lands are Deer farms that are over populated.

When you say they don’t work, do you mean they don’t slow the spread of CWD at all, if followed? I think that’s false. Is stopping transport of live deer Draconian?
Is it curing the disease? Of course not. I don’t think that’s any reasonable person’s expectation.

Okay, so what part of a CWD positive deer being removed are you ok with? Prions have been detected in all parts of a deer…
Would you stop hunting a WMA, NWR or private land where just one deer with CWD is detected?
CWD was identified in 1967…been around way before that. No telling how long CWD has been in the herds since time immemorial.
Think about it…CWD supposedly first detected in north MS and now it’s magically in furthest south MS?
Interesting how we don’t read much about EHD issues affecting deer herds, now it’s CWD.
I believe this just another control method by autocrats in government. My opinion of course and corroborated more and more as the lies are exposed.
Pick your Scientist re CWD

Yep. Let’s just let the disease run its course and wherever too. No one should worry about this at all.
I mean, don’t you think it’d be a problem if our deer population started to decline because of this disease? Cause that’s what happens if you don’t try and contain this stuff. I don’t think they’re necessarily worried about CWD being transmissible to humans, even though it is something to be concerned about. But I think they just don’t want this to run rampant and start destroying deer populations in mass. I think that’s what the biggest concern is.

Deer herds decline in CWD zones largely because wildlife agencies encourage outright extinction protocols…how has that worked in Wisconsin?
Posted on 12/1/23 at 3:01 pm to DogFacedSoldier
There was a NY county where they killed a bunch of deer after cases were found and it hasn’t shown back up.
But killing all the deer to save the deer doesn’t seem like a winning plan.

Deer herd decline due to CWD isn’t the big worry. The jump to humans is the worry. CWD is similar to mad cow, so the jump to humans surely seems possible.

I mean, what else are they supposed to do? They can’t just let it run rampant through every herd. I don’t think it’s the wrong call to kill off a herd that has CWD in it. I think it’d be the wrong call to do nothing though. Seems the latter would be more disastrous.

How do you “kill off a herd”? That’s just not realistic.
Posted on 12/1/23 at 3:21 pm to 257WBY
I need to read more into these kinds of diseases then. That totally changes my perspective on CWD now. I just assumed that if it hadn’t made the jump now, then it never will. I have no idea how that stuff works.

Of course it’s not, but some kind of action has to be done right? An attempt to contain it.

They’re only similar in that they’re both caused by prions. BSE jumped to humans because it was common to recycle ground up carcasses into cattle feed, which caused it to explode and mutate exponentially faster than it would have naturally. People have been eating cervids from places where CWD is endemic for 50 years, and there’s never been a confirmed case of transmission from cervid to human. Never say never, but if it could jump it probably would have by now.
