APHIS to Offer Indemnity for CWD Positive Herds as Part of Its Cervid
Health Activities
WASHINGTON, March 03, 2014— APHIS received a total of $3 million in
appropriated funding to support cervid health activities in fiscal year 2014,
and it will make $1.0 million available for indemnity of chronic wasting disease
(CWD) positive, suspect, and exposed farmed cervids.
APHIS is committed to partnering with states and industry to reduce the
incidence of CWD in farmed cervid populations. The availability of indemnity
funds provides support to affected producers to protect the health of farm
cervids and to minimize the spread of CWD to other cervid populations.
Several CWD positive and exposed herds are currently under state quarantine
in Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin. APHIS has engaged all three states to see if
they plan to request indemnity on behalf of the herds’ producers.
Indemnity will be based on the APHIS-approved appraised value of the
animals as well as depopulation and disposal costs. In order to be eligible for
indemnity, states need to provide herd plans in accordance with APHIS’
established CWD regulatory requirements (9 CFR 55).
APHIS is also providing $200,000 in support of CWD research efforts at the
Agency’s National Wildlife Research Center to develop live animal diagnostic
tests. The remaining funding for APHIS’ cervid health programs will support the
Cervid Tuberculosis Accreditation Program, the CWD voluntary Herd Certification
Program, and general program activities.
wow, i am stunned.
cwd cases must be knee deep for aphis et al to offer indemnity for cwd
herds. but what upsets me off, is that the tax payer will foot the bill in the
end, for shooting pens own demise.
it will in essence, pay to have cwd, and in some cases, pay very well.
but a million dollars will not go very far, if you just look at Buckhorn Flats ;

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE CWD WISCONSIN Almond Deer (Buckhorn Flats) Farm
Update DECEMBER 2011
The CWD infection rate was nearly 80%, the highest ever in a North American
captive herd. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve the purchase of 80 acres of
land for $465,000 for the Statewide Wildlife Habitat Program in Portage County
and approve the restrictions on public use of the site.
SUMMARY:
BY paying indemnity to cwd game farmers et al, that’s not much of a deterrent to stop cwd, by paying them off when they get it, due to there own negligence i.e. cwd by captivity, environmental contamination by congregation, and interstate transportation there from, and or escapees into the wild.
cwd farms and livestock there from, they need to be shut down and quarantined for at least 7 to 10 years, and that may not be long enough, and it should be at the deer farmers expense. that is my opinion. ...
