After a Total of 7 Confirmed Cases The Depopulated Portage County Hunting Ranch Tests Negative for CWD TSE Prion

Depopulated Portage County Hunting Ranch Tests Negative for CWD 

Release Date: June 6, 2019 Contact: Leeann Duwe, Public Information Officer (608) 224-5005, leeannm.duwe@wi.gov 

MADISON – The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) confirms that a Portage County deer and elk hunting ranch that tested positive for chronic wasting disease (CWD) in November 2018, was depopulated on May 9. Other than the initial CWD positive, none of the remaining 166 animals tested positive for CWD. Animals included white-tailed deer, red deer, sika, fallow, and elk. The 220-acre hunting ranch had been quarantined since November 2018 when DATCP confirmed that a three-year old white-tailed buck tested positive for CWD. The hunting ranch had purchased the buck from a Portage County breeding farm that was depopulated on May 1 (Portage County Deer Farm Depopulated due to CWD). The owner will receive state indemnity for the depopulated animals after completing required cleaning and disinfection of the hunting ranch. The hunting ranch will remain fenced and is not allowed to have any CWDsusceptible animals for at least five years. CWD is a fatal, neurological disease of deer, elk, and moose caused by an infectious protein called a prion that affects the animal's brain. Testing for CWD can only be performed after the animal's death. More information about CWD is available at 


DATCP regulates deer farms for registration, recordkeeping, disease testing, movement, and permit requirements. To learn more about deer farm regulations in Wisconsin, visit DATCP’s farmraised deer program at 


The Department of Natural Resources monitors the state's wild white-tailed deer for CWD and has resources available at

Wisconsin Portage County Deer Farm Depopulated due to CWD TSE Prion ​6 Cases Confirmed


Wisconsin Conservation Congress is remarkable and unique, 6 hrs ago, 

'The Congress rejected a proposed bounty system to pay deer hunters for deer carcasses infected with chronic wasting disease, even though 60 percent of those who took part in this year’s spring hearings approved such a measure.''

WISCONSIN THE KILLER AMONG US CWD TSE PRION JANUARY 31, 2008 revisited May 2019

Greetings TSE Prion world, Milwaukee Magazine, and Mary Van de Kamp Nohl. 

i thought i would post again, after over a decade, an article that was printed in the Milwaukee Journal Magazine some 11 years ago about chronic wasting disease cwd tse prion in deer and elk. this was a brilliantly written article about aka mad deer disease. i wanted to post this again in full, and then update the article with the latest science up to 2019, and what kind of dire straights we are in right now with the cwd tse prion, and how, by letting corporate America regulated itself, will not work, and in some cases, it could kill you, and in other cases, release a plague on us all, which in this case, is exactly what happened. wake up America, here's your sign...

THE KILLER AMONG US


CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE CONGRESS Serial No. 107-117 May 16, 2002

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE

JOINT OVERSIGHT HEARING BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON FORESTS AND FOREST HEALTH JOINT WITH THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON FISHERIES CONSERVATION, WILDLIFE AND OCEANS OF THE COMMITTEE ON RESOURCES U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ONE HUNDRED SEVENTH CONGRESS SECOND SESSION

May 16, 2002

Serial No. 107-117

snip...

Mr. MCINNIS. Today, this joint Subcommittee hearing will explore an issue of immeasurable importance to the growing number of communities in wide-ranging parts of this country, the growing incidence of Chronic Wasting Disease in North America’s wild and captive deer and elk populations. In a matter of just a few months, this once parochial concern has grown into something much larger and much more insidious than anyone could have imagined or predicted.

As each day passes, this problem grows in its size, scope, and consequence. One thing becomes clear. Chronic Wasting Disease is not a Colorado problem. It is a Wisconsin problem or a Nebraska or Wyoming problem. It is a national problem and anything short of a fully integrated, systematic national assault on this simply will not do, which is precisely why we brought our group together here today.

snip...

So this is a disease that is spreading throughout the continent and it is going to require a national response as well as the efforts that are currently taking place in States like Wisconsin, Colorado, Nebraska, Wyoming, the interest they now have down in Texas and some of the neighboring States that have large white-tailed deer population and also elk.

This is a huge issue for us, Mr. Chairman, in the State of Wisconsin. I want to commend Governor McCallum and your staff and the various agencies for the rapid response that you have shown, given the early detection of CWD after the last deer hunting season. The problem that we have, though, is just a lack of information, good science in regards to what is the best response, how dangerous is this disease. We cannot close the door, quite frankly, with the paucity of scientific research that is out there right now in regards to how the disease spreads, the exposure of other livestock herds—given the importance of our dairy industry in the State, that is a big issue—and also the human health effects.
