Wyoming Game and Fish CWD Surveillance Shows 2 New Hunt Areas deer hunt area 123 and elk hunt area 108

Wyoming Game and Fish CWD Surveillance Shows 2 New Hunt Areas deer hunt area 123 and elk hunt area 108
 
11/18/2014

 

CHEYENNE - The Wyoming Game and Fish Department’s chronic wasting disease (CWD) surveillance program has found CWD in a new elk hunt area and a new deer hunt area. CWD is a fatal neurological disease of deer, elk and moose.

 

Staff at the Game and Fish Department’s wildlife disease laboratory in Laramie confirmed a doe mule deer and a cow elk were CWD positive. The deer was from deer hunt area 123, northeast of Lovell. The elk was from elk hunt area 108, which is southwest of Rawlins.

 

Both of the new hunt areas are bordered by or overlap hunt areas where the disease was found previously. Deer hunt area 123 borders deer hunt area 122 and CWD was found there in 2007 and elk hunt area 108 overlaps deer hunt area 84, where CWD was documented about a month ago.

 

“We take CWD seriously and that is the reason we have a surveillance program. Though there is no evidence that CWD can be transmitted to people, we recommend people not eat deer, elk or moose that test positive for CWD,” Deputy Chief of the Wyoming Game and Fish Department Wildlife Division, Scott Edberg said. “We continue to conduct vaccine research and evaluate options to try and prevent the spread of CWD.”

 

Game and Fish personnel will continue to collect CWD samples. Hunters who wish to have their deer, elk or moose tested for CWD outside of the department’s CWD surveillance program can to do so by contacting the Wyoming State Veterinary Lab at (307) 766-9925. Hunters should be aware that it may take a few weeks after their animal is sampled to get their test results.

Dense concentrations of elk at feedgrounds facilitate the transmission of diseases and increase their prevalence. Free-ranging elk herds have a CWD prevalence of approximately 1-3% in the core Colorado-Wyoming area where the disease is endemic. Captive elk herds, whose densities more closely match those of feedground elk, have shown rates of CWD prevalence between 17- 59%. Many states now ban the artificial feeding of deer because scientific evidence suggests that such feeding elevates the risk of CWD transmission. High concentrations of animals, close contact between animals, and the contaminated environments that result from these conditions, all contribute to the increased transmission of CWD and other diseases.

CWD Controversy still stalking elk feedgrounds in Wyoming 2010

 

Greetings,

 

This is very serious, please notice that one of the CWD clusters is only 45 miles from ELK feeding grounds in Wyoming, the second elk feeding ground is 98 miles from CWD cluster, and the third elk feeding ground is 130 miles from the CWD cluster. Common sense tells us we need to stop those feeding grounds, if you want your Elk to survive. There is no politics or plot against the hunters or elk about it. read the science please. ...TSS

Program Standards: Chronic Wasting Disease Herd Certification Program and Interstate Movement of Farmed or Captive Deer, Elk, and Moose

***Singeltary submission

 

Docket No. 00-108-10 Chronic Wasting Disease Herd Certification Program and Interstate Movement of Farmed or Captive Deer, Elk, and Moose; Program Standards

 

>>>The CWD herd certification program is a voluntary, cooperative program that establishes minimum requirements for the interstate movement of farmed or captive cervids, provisions for participating States to administer Approved State CWD Herd Certification Programs, and provisions for participating herds to become certified as having a low risk of being infected with CWD<<<

 

Greetings USDA/APHIS et al,

 

I kindly would like to comment on Docket No. 00-108-10 Chronic Wasting Disease Herd Certification Program and Interstate Movement of Farmed or Captive Deer, Elk, and Moose; Program Standards.

 

I believe, and in my opinion, and this has been proven by scientific facts, that without a validated and certified test for chronic wasting disease cwd, that is 100% sensitive, and in use, any voluntary effort will be futile. the voluntary ban on mad cow feed and SRMs have failed terribly, the bse mad cow surveillance program has failed terribly, as well as the testing for bse tse prion in cattle, this too has failed terrible. all this has been proven time and time again via OIG reports and GOA reports.

 

I believe that until this happens, 100% cwd testing with validated test, ALL MOVEMENT OF CERVIDS BETWEEN STATES MUST BE BANNED, AND THE BORDERS CLOSED TO INTERSTATE MOVEMENT OF CERVIDS. there is simply to much at risk.

 

In my opinion, and the opinions of many scientists and DNR officials, that these so called game farms are the cause of the spreading of chronic wasting disease cwd through much negligence. the game farms in my opinion are not the only cause, but a big factor. I kindly wish to submit the following to show what these factors are, and why interstate movement of cervids must be banned. ...
