Monday, 20 July 2009 13:04
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources banned the baiting and feeding of deer this week. This along with other measures are part of a response plan prepared after a case of Chronic Wasting Disease was confirmed at a private facility in Kent County Michigan. Other measures detailed in the plan include a statewide ban on the transport of live wild deer, and mandatory testing of deer killed in some areas. Deer killed in the Kent county townships of Algoma, Alpine, Cannon, Courtland, Nelson, Plainfield, Sparta, Solon, and Tyrone are required to be taken to Department of Natural Resourses checkpoints for testing. Infected deer suffer weight loss and behavioral changes the disease is always fatal. Chronic Wasting Disease can infect moose, elk and deer.
