Wild deer would not do this... [/quote] unfortunately there is a way they can get it. The problem is that people have been baiting and feeding the deer. That means the deer come back to the same area over and over again. Eventually the feed gets contaminated by the deer feces. Then the deer end up eating traces of their own feces. And thus we have this problem [/quote] Yea and dogs eat their own shit as well as other dogs. How come we don't see Mad Dog disease? Yes, there is greater probability of disease transmission when animals are in close contact but that goes with anything. [/quote] so how are these deer getting infected by prions then? [/quote] I'd be more worried if they are infected with Klingons to be honest. Prions don't sound nearly as scary. Lets get real here though...99% of GLP'ers think the earth will end in a year...so eat up. If the shit materializes in 10 years who cares. Right? [/quote]

If you question this, check my source: Naperville Sun newspaper 2/11/2011
CWD is a disease that rots the brain.[/

Just reading the today’s Naperville Sun newspaper about the over population of deer in Will county. Some 32 of the IL deer since July 1st have tested positive for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). Even though the meat is infected, the state of IL is sending the deer to an Earlville meat processor to be sent to the Northern Illinois Food Bank and given to people for consumption. I have to think this is criminal that our government is knowingly feeding infected meat to the people. I don’t know if the recipients are being notified of the potential risks.
There have been cases where this disease was acquired by humans in Great Briton from eating the meat from infected cows. This disease can take 10 years to materialize. Just for perspective, when I donate blood one of the disqualifiers for donating blood is having consumed meat in England during a specific time frame when they had their outbreak. This is a serious disease and also believed to be passed from mother to child in pregnancy.
If you know of anyone who gets their meat from the food bank, let them know.
