CWD is just one of Many diseases where transmission rates increase when ungulates are forced or encouraged into close contact.
Here are a few more.... Most of which are transmittable to other wildlife and livestock. Several of which ARE transmittable to humans....
Bluetongue
Bovine tuberculosis
Brucellosis
Cranial abscessation syndrome
Elaeophorosis (lumpy jaw)
Epizootic hemorrhagic disease
Foot and mouth disease
Leptospirosis
Lyme disease
Malignant catarrhal fever
Meningeal brain worm
Para tuberculosis (Johne’s disease)
Rabies
Tularemia
IMO, The disease issue alone is more than enough to keep baiting of ungulates an illegal practice.
