Present bill would put them under BOAH. If the bill passes I would like it to be BOAH so IDNR has no responsibility or expense when CWD is found in a captive herd.
I'm looking at this from the financial side, chances are it will be found first in a pen. When it is found the cost to manage(not eradicate it can't happen) would belong to the agency who has control. If it is found in the wild fine, let sportsmen dollars pay for it. But, if found in captive herd let BOAH pay for it out of its' budget, still tax dollars but not "my" money.
The deer farmers nor shooting preserves want this, they want reimbursed. They don't care where the money comes from, they just want it. A business that has no risk......
