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.
HEY WALKING

Is the cwd actually spreading like cancer as certain posters have suggested
or is the province just testing further into the province?
Can one actually make this assumption?......
