A pro-deer hunting voice for intelligent alternatives to CWD and Chronic Wasting Disease hysteria.The Wisconsin CWD Watch website reports the efforts of a coalition of Wisconsin deer hunting, landowner, and wildlife conservation groups formed to provide reasoned, affordable, and common sense alternatives to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Chronic Wasting Disease program. To date the clear results from the DNR CWD program are: miilions of dollars diverted from other wildlife & environmental programs, widespread fear of eating venison, and significant damage to the venerable sport of deer hunting by corrupting it into a panic slaughter of white-tailed deer in Southwest Wisconsin. The DNR response to this disease has created what no one thought possible - putting animal rights activists and advid deer hunters on the same side! In both camps there is repulsion at slaughtering wild deer for the dumpster - like rats - and starving them to death through unreasonable restrictions on feeding. This has led some pundits to suggest there is an outbreak of another form of the cognitive disease whose locus is the GEF II State Office Building in Madison, Wisconsin. A newly discovered disease called CPD* (Chronic Panic Disorder) appears to be spreading at the agency headquarters! News from the Hot Zone - "Momma, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Sharpshooters" Tony Grabski sent us this humorous news article about a resident in Vermont Township who didn't appreciate having DNR Snipers shooting over bait piles in his neigborhood. - - - See the article here.
After over four years of experimentation with CWD Eradication in and around the Mount Horeb, Arena and Blue Mounds killing zone triangle, it is clear to those of us in the center of the "zone" that eradication is an impossible mission. Deer remain numerous despite massive amounts of money and firepower being employed to eliminate them. And evidence is mounting that CWD is much more broadly distributed than alleged by the DNR. It is becoming an axiom: the more we test for CWD, the more we find. And with further testing, the original zone continues to expand (it has more than quadrupled in geographic area) and new zones are defined. In order to mitigate this dramatic expansion of the area of known CWD, the DNR has developed the "sparks theory" of CWD spread. This allows single new cases of CWD found several miles outside of the current disease zone boundaries to be characterized as isolated "sparks" from the original zone . . . and not an indication that the geographic extent of the disease is larger than the current designation. Only through such Orwellian concepts as their "sparks" program, is the DNR is able to claim they are containing CWD. Wisconsin CWD Watch and related advocacy groups support:
