"If you sell the seeds of doubt... you also control mass hysteria. "
This is a VERY good podcast and I buy into it.
We in Michigan deal with CWD and TB in our deer herds. It was always a topic that was talked about in camp.
WOW!! I could talk about this for hours!
I firmly believe this disease has been around since the dawn of time, along with numerous diseases we have yet to discover.
I also believe this is how evolution regulates " existence".
This is a script from Wikipeda " the
world population is the total number of
humans currently living, and was estimated to have reached 7.7 billion people as of November 2018.
[1] It took over 200,000 years of
human history for the world's population to reach 1 billion;
[2] and only 200 years more to reach 7 billion."
If this is true, how could we not think that the reason we are seeing such a dramatic rise in strains we see , that were once isolated to a specific geograghic
location would not spread further around the world.
The CWD disease talked about in this podcast I feel is right on. Bone meal as a carrier agent.... you bet! It's used in alot of things. Heck...you can buy a
box of it from right next to the box of Quaker Oats!
I as a hunter do like to put out a bit of bait once in awhile. Admittedly, I use to dump a pail into a pile and enjoyed watching the deer feed. After the disease was found and recognize , I still throw out some bait but it is scattered over a large area. Does it help? I don,t know. I have seen deer herds tight together
in a winter wheat field foraging just as tightly together as if there was a pile of feed on the ground. I feel that if a population grows to large, nature WILL thin it to it's preferred density. The same goes for any species including humans.
I firmly believe it was disease and not the asteroid that removed the dinosaurs from existence.
