Canned Hunt Facilities - Mad Deer Disease
Someone will explain why elk, moose and deer are held capitive for hunters to shoot them in Michigan. The canned hunt facilities where loser hunters pay to shoot caged or fenced animals are again a source of disease that can threaten our wildlife. This time it is chronic wasting disease found in a 3 year old doe born on a Kent county canned hunt facility. Cervid chronic wasting disease is similar to mad cow and is caused by prions interacting with proteins.

The state of Michigan may announce a ban on deer baiting in the entire lower pennisula. The goal of containment will be to prevent chronic wasting disease from entering Michigan's whitetail deer population. The 580 "cervid facilities" are placed under quarantine. Hey, here's an idea, let's stop breeding deer, moose and elk in captivity for losers to shoot and kill.
