Bound to happen. I like the wording in the release that minimizes any affect on humans and livestock

It is sad to hear that CWD has moved that far west. It will mean more cases in Alberta foothills, thought we had few more years before it would migrate from Saskatchewan, through Alberta then on to the coast.

Could have came in on feed too.
Norway reindeer got it likely from feed.

CWD probably came into BC by hoof from Montana.
