re: Scientists warn ‘zombie deer disease’ could spread to humans

Wisconsin, starting around 2003, Governor tries to scare the population while screaming for federal funds to fight CWD in the deer population. Arranges for the DNR to fly around in helicopters with 'marksmen' hanging out the sides indiscriminately shooting deer for photo ops to further scare people into compliance, then switching to unlimited deer tags, testing, all sorts of gimmicks.

Result = Epic fail, 20 years later hunting and deer consumption remains largely unchanged for what is considered one of the largest deer populations in the US. I see they are still grifting today with maps and such for infection rates and all sorts of nonsense.
