Many of you have followed this battle for months, and you have personally invested time and resources into protecting the white-tailed deer of Missouri. Join us, as the conservation community of Missouri stands united behind our Governor. We need as many conservationists and conservation organization representatives in the room as possible. The conservation community needs to show up and support our Governor who is stepping up in defense of all conservation in Missouri.

Governor Nixon is acting on an issue much bigger than just the captive deer. He is making a statement that conservation is vitally important in Missouri and is not to be messed with. Please load up a group and join us in supporting Governor Nixon’s action.

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 Sr.

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.

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.

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.
