CWD in USA and Canada, your opinion wanted! - 05/12/17
To my American and Canadian friends! Certainly, some of you know, CWD was found on wild reindeer and on moose in Norway last year. The CWD type on moose is not yet known, but CWD on Reinsdeer is known as a contagious variant from America. I live there where CWD on reindeer is detected. 3 reindeer were documented infected last year. The first was actually found random while it died of CWD. The last two were shot in the hunting season, but they were only infected not sick. Now the authorities and agencies have decided to eradicate this reindeer herd of approximately 2200 animals to get rid of CWD. There has been a lot of debate about this, but many believe the attempt at extinction may be right unless the infection occurs elsewhere and that more samples must be taken, also in other areas and on other species. This is the short version. We have no guarantee that one succeeds, so maybe we must at least live with CWD. I have studied a lot of American reports, etc., but now I want to hear how you experience having CWD. Of course, nobody will have CWD, but is it really the disaster someone says or what?
Here is the report that is the basis for det eradication: http://www.vkm.no/dav/66fc31f0ba.pdf
