[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1831000, member: 42463"] I found out from a career Wisconsin DNR deer biologist that a herd of Fort Collins captive deer in 1967 was the original vector for CWD. No one knew about prions then. It was thought by researchers that captivity itself was the cause for the wasting phenomenon. Sheep all have a prion called scrapie. Could have been a mutation. By 1994 we had the term CWD. The people in charge released the deer into the wild as the best solution they could think of. [/QUOTE]
