CONSERVATIONISTS: Governor Nixon is holding a press conference at the Tiger
Hotel in Columbia, MO on Tuesday, July 8th at 10:00 a.m. to act on the
legislation to transfer captive deer from the Missouri Department of
Conservation to the Missouri Department of Agriculture. Let’s fill the room with
conservationists and show our Governor we support his actions to protect the
wildlife of Missouri.
Thank You Governor Nixon !
The Great State of Missouri, it’s wildlife and hunters won a great victory
if Governor Nixon veto these bills that keep coming forward turning the shooting
pens over to the USDA et al.
you must put language in your VETO that will ban any further legislation
hidden in other bills for these shooting pens, or they will keep
appearing.
A very wise move Sir, Thank You...very respectfully, Terry S. Singeltary

Chronic Wasting Disease Found in Captive Deer
The Missouri departments of Agriculture, Conservation and Health and Senior
Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that a captive
white-tailed deer in Macon County, Missouri has tested positive for Chronic
Wasting Disease (CWD). CWD is a neurological disease found in deer, elk and
moose.
snip...
The animal that tested positive for CWD was a captive white-tailed deer
inspected as part of the State's CWD surveillance and testing program.
Preliminary tests were conducted by the USDA National Veterinary Services
Laboratory in Ames, Iowa.
snip...
In February 2010 a case of CWD was confirmed in Linn County on a captive
hunting preserve operated by the same entity, Heartland Wildlife Ranches, LLC.
The Linn County facility was depopulated and no further infection was identified
at that facility. The current case was identified through increased surveillance
required by the management plan implemented from the previous CWD incident.

Chronic Wasting Disease Found in Captive Deer
The Missouri Departments of Agriculture, Conservation and Health and Senior
Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced today that a captive
white-tailed deer in Linn County, Missouri has tested positive for Chronic
Wasting Disease (CWD). CWD is a neurological disease found in deer, elk and
moose.
"There is no evidence that CWD poses a risk to domestic animals or humans,"
said State Veterinarian Dr. Taylor Woods. "We have protocols in place to quickly
and effectively handle these situations."
The animal that tested positive for CWD was a white-tailed deer inspected
as part of the State's CWD surveillance and testing program. Preliminary tests
were conducted by the USDA National Veterinary Services Laboratory in Ames,
Iowa.
Upon receiving the confirmed CWD positive, Missouri's departments of
Agriculture, Conservation and Health and Senior Services initiated their CWD
Contingency Plan. The plan was developed in 2002 by the Cervid Health Committee,
a task force comprised of veterinarians, animal health officers and conservation
officers from USDA, MDA, MDC and DHSS working together to mitigate challenges
associated with CWD.
CWD is transmitted by live animal to animal contact or soil to animal
contact. The disease was first recognized in 1967 in captive mule deer in the
Colorado Division of Wildlife captive wildlife research facility in Fort
Collins, Colorado. CWD has been documented in deer and/or elk in Colorado,
Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York,
Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and the
Canadian Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. There has been no evidence that
the disease can be transmitted to humans.
"Missouri's proactive steps to put a testing protocol in place and create a
contingency plan years ago is proving beneficial. We are in a solid position to
follow pre-established steps to ensure Missouri's valuable whitetail deer
resource remains healthy and strong," said Jason Sumners Missouri's Deer
Biologist.
For more information regarding CWD, please contact Dr. Taylor Woods at
(573) 751-3377.
