Joe.... kassich is part of the problem.... he considers deer farmers "farmers"..... he has been pressed for the last several years to tighten up importing and exporting of whitetails..... he has refused. Its just a matter of time before this happens.

This will be handled poorly just like Ebola and our gov will do a big, "dolp....what the hell happened!" Then the blame games will begin.

Deer are social herding animals - the have physical contact daily - licking - sniffing - nursing - fighting - sleeping together - tasting their pee and poop - licking branches - mineral licks - feeding on ag products - drinking from the same pool - eating soil - eating from the same plant - tree and shrub - baiting don't mean squat in the grand scheme of things - just a easy target out of frustration - the problem is CAPATIVE DEER & ELK FARMS - TRANSPORTATING DEER TO OHIO FROM REAGONS WITH CWD - cwd is transmitted from animal to animal - soil to animal and plant to animal - once a deer fam has cwd its TOXIC - how are you going to clean up the soil and etc - because of the long incubation period the states testing
program is bogus - OUT LAW CAPATIVE DEER AND ELK FARMS - there is not medical treatment for CWD dang :BS2:

If I remember correctly it waste deer farmers that lobbied to be categorized as agriculture and moved out from under the DOW. As we've seen with our DOW lobbying is very effective in this state.

Sooo, the place that had the 100% positive CWD animal was able to opt out of destroying the rest in that captive herd. UNFUGGINGREAL

Looks like I wasn't the only one to slap the DOA with with a open records request. I got the list today also but was traveling back from an out of state funeral and haven't had the chance to put it up yet. This however is only the beginning.
