Ted, I'm listening. But, if eating meat from CWD infected animals is so dangerous, why hasn't the CDC figured that out?
Somebody, somewhere, at some time, should have died from eating it by now, wouldn't you think?
I don’t know if eating meat from infected animals is dangerous. The CDC (bless their hearts) doesn’t seem to know, either, and appears to be hedging their bets.
Has anyone died from eating infected deer? Hell, my peers are dropping like flies these days, a lot of them seem to go in their sleep and the family never knows exactly what killed them if they don’t fund an autopsy. “Natural causes” leaves a pretty wide berth.
My only point, again, is we don’t know what we don’t know.
By the way, some of the best meat I’ve ever eaten came from venison taken in areas of small grain farming. I have an acquaintance who owns his family’s ancestral farm on the border of Indiana and Kentucky who plants small grain, makes his living in the trades, and only really “farms” the local deer.
I’ve no need to eat any tamarack swamp deer from the northeastern part of Minnesota ever again.
No comparison.
Best,
Ted
