Wisconsin's effort to stop CWD is bringing people together

Wisconsin groups and individuals have launched a grassroots push to urge Gov. Tony Evers and the Legislature to combat chronic wasting disease.Called the CWD Action Initiative, the effort is focused on protecting the health of Wisconsin’s wild deer and elk populations.  The drive was publicly unveiled in recent days. It includes specific goals such as creating safe and convenient means for deer carcass disposal, improved CWD testing and improved biosecurity at deer farms."We seek increased attention and action by Wisconsin’s elected officials to implement effective CWD management programs that will stop and reverse the growth in disease prevalence and spread," according to the initiative's mission statement.
