The Feds basically have given up. There is no longer any financial assistance in CWD testing. The Indiana rule in fact is stricter than the federal guidelines. By Federal rules individual herds in states will become certified as CWD-free and interstate shipments of those animals will be allowed. In the Indiana rule if a state has a CWD positive deer found that entire state is banned from importation to Indiana.

I do agree the enclosure rules are way too weak but that's why we have this comment period. Everyone should get on-board if they are serious about protecting the wild herd. I'm sure the Amish deer farmers will be making thier comments and showing up at the April meeting.
