Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is a serious wildlife disease that countless scientists across our country and world have studied indepth. This disease may potentially alter the future of white-tailed deer and deer hunting as we know it today. Contrary to what Larry Dablemont may say, CWD is very much on the radar of the Missouri Department of Conservation and game agencies across the country. I personally work on the issue regularly. (Dablemont column, Nov. 2)
We must not spread misinformation, especially off-the-wall editorials with no scientific basis about CWD.
In his continuing personal saga of contempt for the Missouri Department of Conservation, it seems Dablemont will attempt to turn any fictional fantasy into fact. He has now somehow deemed himself a wildlife disease expert. In his most recent column against the Share the Harvest program, Dablemont wrote:
“People who receive the meat, in general, know nothing of the disease. They should be told that the disease has killed many people, as the Center For Disease Control in Atlanta can attest.”
