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

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

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.Quote:

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.
