| New CWD regulation In Case anyone is interested...... The Importation and Possession of Deer, Moose, and Elk Carcasses and Parts ______________________________________ The Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies are amended by adding Section 26-55-4 as follows: (NEW) 26-55-4 Importation and possession of deer, moose, and elk carcasses and parts. No person shall import or possess whole carcasses or parts thereof of any deer, moose, or elk from wild or captive herds from other states or Canadian Provinces where chronic wasting disease has been confirmed, including, but not limited to, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Montana, South Dakota, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Nebraska, Oklahoma, New York, West Virginia, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Any additional states and provinces where chronic wasting disease is confirmed will be published in the Department’s annual Hunting and Trapping Guide and on the Department’s Web site. This provision shall not apply to meat that is de-boned, cleaned skullcaps, hides or taxidermy mounts. Statement of Purpose: This amendment is proposed to prevent the introduction of chronic wasting disease (CWD) into Connecticut by prohibiting the importation of neurological tissue of deer, moose, or elk from states and provinces where CWD has been confirmed. CWD is a fatal disease of deer, moose, and elk that is similar to mad cow disease in cattle and scrapie in sheep. This proposed amendment is consistent with a regional effort to prevent the introduction of CWD into New England.

| That's quite a list of places where CWD has been found! Seems only a few years ago I first heard of this in Wisconsin. Is there a cure for this? Other than clearing out vast numbers of animals, is there anything that can be done to stop it? Is the disease spreading? Certainly makes sense not to transport animals from these areas.

| At this time there is no known cure. It's a virus that has been compared to Mad Cow Disease.

| That's too bad. Curious if there have been any reported cases in Connecticut?
