And when CWD comes to your deer courtesy of the closest elk or deer farm, it won't be cheap any more. It will be a "Russian Roulette" hazard to eat it.

And this doesn't even include the new service fees.

No point worrying about fenced elk when the MNR helps bring "wild" elk in from a known CWD herd and let's them run free

That cow was about 80 kms from here, and the beef was going on Friday for around $3.00 a pound on the hoof. This scare is sure not hurting the auction prices.

While I would wish CJD on anybody, it isn't going to stop me from eating beef, sponge brain or not

Agreed Dale.
I believe all the imported elk herds in Ontario should be tracked down and obliterated with Apache Helicopters.
Then the ground they died on should be subject to fire bombing over multiple years to eliminate any potential for CWD brought in from Alberta.

I thought the Alberta elk were quarantined and tested before being released.?

They were quarantined and tested for brucellosis and a few other things. At the time, and still I believe, there was no way to test a live animal for CWD.

My understanding too.
And BSE has an incubation period of at least 30 months - I'm pretty sure they weren't quarantined for that long.
My understanding is that all slaughtered cattle over 30 months were tested for BSE. So its shouldn't be surprising that on ocaission we will find one...if we didn't - what's the point in all this testing.
YD's post a page or two back makes a lot of sense.
