Deadly deer disease continues tp spread
Minnesota state veterinarian Bill Hartmann recently announced that chronic wasting disease had been discovered in a five-year-old farmed elk, marking the first detection of the disease in Minnesota.According to a news release, the state board of animal health immediately quarantined the herd while officials investigated the source of the infection and the possibility that other elk or deer may have been exposed. The private herd from which the infected bull elk came had been enrolled in the state's voluntary chronic wasting disease monitoring program since 2000. Four of their elk had been previously tested and all proved to be negative.
