People Who Eat Deer And Elk With Chronic Wasting Disease

it suggests that it MAY NOT be transmittable to humans but then at the end this coment says.....
""The fact that the squirrel monkeys, like the deer and elk, suffered severe weight loss suggests that chronic wasting disease might affect a common region of the brain in different species," notes Dr. Chesebro"

Yeah I'm not so sure it's that safe for humans..... Just saying..... It's similar to Mad cow disease...... And I wouldn't want to eat a sick cow.

WOW CWD has 18 to 24 months incubation and no clinical signs until very late incubation! Mule deer, Moose, Elk all susceptible, they say its sorta like Mad Cow disease, it basically eats holes in the brain and makes it like a soft sponge I would have loved the job of the net gun and jump from the copter how fun would that be if I was young and fit. Although seeing those deer would suck

I actually think it may have an even longer incubation period.....I think some animals May never get sick.... Making them healthy carriers.

It is wonderful! It is basically a tree tumor!
It usually caused by a bacteria called agrobacterium tumefaciens.
Usually they have very interesting pattern of wood fibers inside, making them prised trophy for wood works.

Okay, here’s the deal. This is so important, I will take advice from anyone. Yup! I’m desperate.
I really had no intention of definitely getting a rabbit. I just didn’t want to get the urge, and be oblivious to what was necessary.
I called a pet store to see what they had available for rabbits (like hay bales). I was put on hold, and given the number of a woman a few doors down from the pet shop.
She and her college (in a dorm) daughter picked up two bunnies from a big chain pet shop. They were the only two rabbits there. 3-month-old female Lion lops. A few days later, the daughter thought that she saw male genitalia on one. They brought the rabbits to a neighbor, and it was declared they were both males, and more like five or six months old.
The two boys are in a small cage, and rarely get out an hour a day. While being unfixed, potty training is a little more difficult, the owners didn’t even know they could be trained (I can handle that).
Having both boys neutered will cost around $400. Other than that, there really is no major expense at this time.
Should I adopt these boys? They are free, and come with pellets and Timothy hay. I have a big enough cage, the litter needed, chew toys (rabbits love the sticks from apple trees!) as well as a box for hiding, litter and bedding.

$400 for neutering a male?? That's a total ripoff. Wow. Have you checked local shelters? Mine has pre-fixed buns for about 30 bucks. I mean, normally I'd say go for it, but that's a lot of cash for a simple surgery...

Nevermind. GET THEM.

 

[BullChick]

That is both boys. The local shelters do not have rabbits, and most will not take any in (or foster out).

Hm, bummer. Here, it's about a hundred bucks for neutering one.
