Other than the lack of a hunting aspect, why are these farms seemingly getting a pass from most sportsman when it comes to the discussion and concern over CWD?
In my opinion they should not be farming deer/wildlife. The mistake was made years ago to allow some deer to be kept under the game breeders permit. Some people were raising deer for urine sales. Then came the idea of shooting them. They discovered they could genetically raise deer to have the huge racks at an early age as well as producing stupid size racks that double the size of what is normally found on a wild whitetail.

http://www.indystar.com/story/news/...5283/?from=global&sessionKey=&autologin= The biggest problem with the shooting pens is deer from wherever are going to be brought in to be killed. That movement increases the odd that contaminated deer will be trucked in. The killing pens is what drives the markets and movement. Yes there is movement amongst breeders but a lot of the breeding is done with AI
