Zombie deer defense?

[Joel]

There was no study.

Abstract, then. Yknow, the one written by researchers, not the tabloid?

Their headline was clickbait (par for the course) but the tabloid article itself makes it very clear that this was a "Maybe" deal. It does not say that the hunters died from CWD.

Considering Field and Stream ran pretty much the same headline, I can't blame The Daily. You'd think F&S knows better? lol


This is interesting.

The NDA published a response to the abstract on Thursday. “There are no details, no evidence, or facts presented, so there’s not much to go on. But the bottom line is, nothing has changed. We still don’t have evidence of transmission of CWD from deer to people. We didn’t before, and this doesn’t change that. Nothing changes about the advice for people regarding CWD and their health, either. If you hunt in a CWD zone, get your deer tested and wait for the results before you eat the venison.”

Gee, why would they advise that people should get their deer tested, and wait for the results before eating the venison? lol.

Probably because its quite likely the odds aren't 0%

It's called CYA.

And I don't blame them!

Cause odds aren't 0%.

1 in 2000 Brits carries markers for CJD they never developed thanks to mad cow tainted beef. Odds are extremely low. But it ain't impossible. The fact that millions of Brits ate that meat would probably be cold comfort to the 176 who died.


Eat a burger made from venison from 4 severely CWD affected deer and I'll go get a booster, k? lol

Why does it have to be 4 and why do they have to be Downers?

Would you or no? lol

I have a Welsh-Canadian friend who is ineligible to donate blood simply because he lived in the UK during the mad cow scare. Crazy stuff.
