Leaving CWD Eradication to Hunters is Too Dangerous

Alberta Wilderness Association

News Release: October 13, 2005

There are far too many risks involved in Alberta's plan to attempt eradication of CWD from wild deer populations near the infected area of Oyen, primarily by using hunters.

"Hunter-based eradication is just too dangerous," says Vivian Pharis of AWA's Board of Directors. "Instead we need teams of trained professionals out there conducting these culls that understand the full risks and will remove entire carcasses." Carcasses testing CWD positive must then be incinerated in high temperature facilities, not discarded into landfills. Read More
