I would also try to get Keith Warren there and put this on the outdoor
channels!! If Ryan Sabolow can get is no sense article nation wide and in the
USA today. This needs to be on the cover!!! There should not be a deer or elk
farmer in Iowa that should not be there that day. These people need the pressure
put on them big time.
This is What CWD Looks Like on Our Farm

May God have mercy. I don't think I could resist from cutting the wire so
they at least had a chance, even knowing the outcome would be costly to the
whole deer farm community. What a complete waste of life, to kill and find zero
to one of those deer have the disease, but I am banking on zero.

I think we should do what they did at Wind Cave. Let's just take the fence
down and let them loose.

Gary That would bring the news. If 100 deer farmers showed up and started
taking the fence down. I think another great idea would be to take all the
staples out but one then as soon as they fired the first killing shot with all
the media present let it go. They will knock that last staple out.

Rhonda,
Like I have told you before they would have to kill me first before I let
them needlessly slaughter my animals. When the day comes we should ALL be
standing at the gates and say enough is enough. A protest would make the news
for sure.
>>> Let's just take the fence down and let them loose.
I THOUGHT that had already been done on the Brakkes farm ???
16. On June 3, 2013, DNR became aware that sections of the exterior fence
surrounding the Quarantined Premises had been removed and that some, if not all,
of the exterior gates to and from the Quarantined Premises were open.
17. On June 4, 2013, DNR received reports from the public in the area that
four wild deer were observed inside the Quarantined Premises.
18. On June 5, 2013, DNR conducted a fence inspection, after gaining
approval from surrounding landowners, and confirmed that the fenced had been cut
or removed in at least four separate locations; that the fence had degraded and
was failing to maintain the enclosure around the Quarantined Premises in at
least one area; that at least three gates had been opened; and that deer tracks
were visible in and around one of the open areas in the sand on both sides of
the fence, evidencing movement of deer into the Quarantined Premises. see more

IOWA DNR EMERGENCY CONSENT ORDER IN THE MATTER OF TOM & LINDA BRAKKE
D/B/A PINE RIDGE HUNTING LODGE UPDATE AUGUST 21, 2013
snip...
5. On July 16, 2012, DNR received a notice from the Texas Veterinary
Medical Diagnostic Lab ("Texas Vet Lab”) that a sample from an adult male deer
killed at Pine Ridge tested presumptively positive for CWD. (DNR has an
agreement with the Texas Vet Lab to run these preliminary tests.) Because the
Texas Vet Lab found this presumptive positive result, protocols required the
sample to be sent to the National Veterinary Services Laboratory ("National
Lab”) in Ames, Iowa for final confirmation. On July 18, 2012, the National Lab
confirmed the positive CWD result in the deer.
6. On July 19, 2012, DNR notified the Brakkes of the positive test by
phone. Mr. Brakke was out of state.
snip...
12. The Brakkes depopulated the Hunting Preserve, as specified in the
Agreement, from September 10, 2012 to January 31, 2013. As part of this effort,
the Brakkes, the staff and their customers killed 199 captive deer and nine
captive elk. The DNR obtained 170 CWD samples. (Samples were not taken from
fawns and one adult female who was killed in a manner that made sampling
impossible.) Of these 199 deer, two additional adult male deer tested positive
for CWD. Information provided by the Brakkes confirmed that these two additional
deer originated from the Brakke Breeding Facility.
13. DNR installed, with the Brakke's permission, an interior electric fence
on October 1 and 2, 2012.
14. The Brakkes cleaned and disinfected, under DNR supervision, the feeders
and ground surrounding the feeders on April 5, 2013.
15. On April 26, 2013, the Brakkes hand-delivered a notice to the DNR’s
Chief of Law Enforcement Bureau, notifying the DNR that they would no longer
operate a hunting preserve on the Quarantined Premises. The Brakkes did not
reveal any plans to remove the fence around the Quarantined Premises or to
remove the gates to and from the Quarantined Premises in this April 26, 2013
letter.
16. On June 3, 2013, DNR became aware that sections of the exterior fence
surrounding the Quarantined Premises had been removed and that some, if not all,
of the exterior gates to and from the Quarantined Premises were open.
17. On June 4, 2013, DNR received reports from the public in the area that
four wild deer were observed inside the Quarantined Premises.
18. On June 5, 2013, DNR conducted a fence inspection, after gaining
approval from surrounding landowners, and confirmed that the fenced had been cut
or removed in at least four separate locations;
that the fence had degraded and was failing to maintain the enclosure
around the Quarantined Premises in at least one area;
that at least three gates had been opened;
and that deer tracks were visible in and around one of the open areas in
the sand on both sides of the fence, evidencing movement of deer into the
Quarantined Premises.

Stakeholder Announcement: APHIS to Offer Indemnity for CWD Positive Herds

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.

*** APHIS to Offer Indemnity for CWD Positive Herds as Part of Its Cervid
Health Activities ???
*** Infectious agent of sheep scrapie may persist in the environment for at
least 16 years***
Gudmundur Georgsson1, Sigurdur Sigurdarson2 and Paul Brown3
*** We conclude that TSE infectivity is likely to survive burial for long
time periods with minimal loss of infectivity and limited movement from the
original burial site. However PMCA results have shown that there is the
potential for rainwater to elute TSE related material from soil which could lead
to the contamination of a wider area. These experiments reinforce the importance
of risk assessment when disposing of TSE risk materials.
*** The results show that even highly diluted PrPSc can bind efficiently to
polypropylene, stainless steel, glass, wood and stone and propagate the
conversion of normal prion protein. For in vivo experiments, hamsters were ic
injected with implants incubated in 1% 263K-infected brain homogenate. Hamsters,
inoculated with 263K-contaminated implants of all groups, developed typical
signs of prion disease, whereas control animals inoculated with non-contaminated
materials did not.

POTENTIAL RISK FACTORS THERE FROM ***
Thursday, July 03, 2014
*** How Chronic Wasting Disease is affecting deer population and what’s the
risk to humans and pets? ***
*** The potential impact of prion diseases on human health was greatly
magnified by the recognition that interspecies transfer of BSE to humans by beef
ingestion resulted in vCJD. While changes in animal feed constituents and
slaughter practices appear to have curtailed vCJD, there is concern that CWD of
free-ranging deer and elk in the U.S. might also cross the species barrier.
Thus, consuming venison could be a source of human prion disease. Whether BSE
and CWD represent interspecies scrapie transfer or are newly arisen prion
diseases is unknown. Therefore, the possibility of transmission of prion disease
through other food animals cannot be ruled out. There is evidence that vCJD can
be transmitted through blood transfusion. There is likely a pool of unknown size
of asymptomatic individuals infected with vCJD, and there may be asymptomatic
individuals infected with the CWD equivalent. These circumstances represent a
potential threat to blood, blood products, and plasma supplies.
