Re: Acid found in soil may combat CWD
What are peoples thoughts on baiting vs agriculture, grazing leases?...which presents a bigger threat to CWD introduction to BC? how was CWD first imported to farms in SK? and subsequently how is it spreading from there
I think there are 2 main points of contention with baiting, fair chase and disease/wildlife health....I think we can side step the fair chase element, or else we can open a whole other can of worms (quad restrictions, hunting with dogs, etc)...
of the small percentage of hunters that choose to bait, how does that stack up against the risks of agriculture? Ourea's photo is a great example...drive through the South Peace region any time of year, but especially during the winter for more examples....what is really going to cause a tangible impact here
I draw similarities between the baiting debate and the gun debate...the problems of the US do not necessarily apply to Canada...baiting is in the minority, so lets ban it because it could be bad...let's see how the logic applies to guns on this forum
Unfortunately, the rifles are getting lighter because we are getting heavier and more unfit as a society. This is the key to the mainstream acceptance of the short magnums. - Nathan Foster
