    Re: CWD reported within 50 km of the BC border

    Well, for now it isn't harmful to humans and might never be.
    However, I think there is always the concern (by disease control) that one day something could jump from an animal to human.
    So, it's never 100% down the road.

    The bad thing right now is what it could do to the deer populations overall if it spread into BC.
    As if we didn't need anymore bad mojo in that area.

    Not harmful to humans? British government kept saying BSE wasn't transferred to humans, and look where that ended up.
    CWD has been transferred in Macaque monkeys, a good analogue for people.
    Much caution is in order.

    Interesting read Red.
    I'd agree that we should be concerned.

    Thanks RR..
    I dont know anything about CWD..however the biologists in Alberta...and here were extremely concerned..and very detailed and aggressive cleaning procedures were described for cleaning our cutting area, knives etc.
    The biologists seemed very concerned....

    Yup, I think the more one gets informed on this, the more worrisome it becomes.
    Although there has been some talk about a cure, it seems we are far from it.
    I think everybody needs to start thinking about it and get aware.

    I always like to see people being informed and being aware of wildlife challenges......that's a good thing
    I also see these conversations seldom, if ever, talk about solutions that are viable or practical.

    Here is a literal dose of reality.....
    BC spends next to piss all on it's wildlife or it's protection.
    No investment no return.

    There are a vast majority of hunters that still cling to the mantra that hunting regulations will make an impact on the big picture in wildlife recovery, which is beyond ignorant.


    What about if all hunting was stopped tomorrow..... so we know that hunting and regulations are no longer a factor in wildlife prosperity?
    Reality is that it would have little if any impact on the implosion of wildlife in this province and the downward spiral will continue.

    Great to analyze it to death though eh!!

    Does anyone know what BC's CWD response plan entails if/when the disease is confirmed in the province?

    Yes..I understand only those that live outside Vancouver and did not vote NDP will be allowed to eat wild game not screened or checked.

    Likely nothing.
