They can't do it for the same reason that African nations can't. Texas, like most states that aren't blue, are states with high populations of hunters. Where I live in the north, white tails are HUGE, easily double the size of what I've seen living down south and in the Midwest. The reason is because there aren't many hunters in blue states and so the populations get out of control, but, the big males are actually able to breed. In the south and Midwest, unless you were to close down all hunting (which wouldn't happen because people would still do it on their properties), you will hunt everything to extinction. Yes, MOST hunters are conservationists. Myself included... But... Hunters don't like to recognize just how many hilljacks and rednecks there are who are white trash and sometimes shoot at anything they can find. They don't care if they hit a deer with a gut shot or in the leg, they don't care if populations are low. Theres a lot more idiots in this world than those who are logical and so captive breeding is much more nuanced than just money.
It depends on a lot of factors, but CWD can drastically reduce their lifespan and it's common for them to die between 18 months and two years after infection.
Deer can not be harvested without a license, tag, and within an open season. Secondly, if there is concern for a deer showing signs consistent with CWD, they should notify their local biologist or game warden; the biologist or game warden can then coordinate for the safe removal and testing of that animal if indicated.
Like any disease, it can be very difficult to mitigate and it may never be eradicated entirely, but we have an obligation to try and limit the damage it causes to wildlife and ecosystems. If we do nothing, the problem will get much worse.
Unfortunately, chronic wasting disease cannot be identified by just looking at them. A perfectly healthy-looking deer can still be carry chronic wasting disease. They only show signs towards the end, such as emaciation, drooling and disorientation. That's why testing is so important to managing the spread of this disease.
I would love for you.guys to do a survey to see how many hunters that are actually in the woods, have seen a deer with cwd. A real non biased, non government funded survey. Then once the survey is finished do a video
The sick animals used to be easy prey for wolves. Now we have replaced the wolves with hunters who ignore diseased animals and mainly shoot healthy ones. So the sick animals are allowed to survive and spread their disease.
Thanka I was worrying that the zombie apocalypse was only likely to happen if the zombie ant fungus jumped to humans Which feelt unlikely but I need to worry about someone who doesn't care or know about this eating a deer that had
To date, there have been no reported cases of CWD infection in people. However, it's best for people to avoid eating meat that has tested positive for CWD.
Does it spread in Detroit cuz that's where I'm from and I do not want to get cow disease I heard a lot about it and I do not feel like having that I'm scared of death sooo please tell me there's a spread inside Detroit Michigan 😭😭😭
Chronic wasting disease has been found in deer in Michigan as well as many other states, which is why it's important that we study it and monitor it closely. There's still a lot that we don't know, but so far no person has ever contracted chronic wasting disease from deer. Still, it's best to avoid eating meat from animals that have chronic wasting disease, and the only way to know that is to have them tested.

@@tessace4884If it's a prion disease, then no amount of cooking can destroy the infectious protein. It could be better to avoid the meat from an infected animal.
The deer with act very out of it and lethargic. They will usually have lack of coordination and behavior changes. This leads to them being “zombie-like” to some. Plus it was used by the media because it gets more clicks lol

That’s just silly. Taking out a giant keystone species because a portion have a disease we will most likely be able to cure/ are able to control just bc “well that’s easier” is short sited at best.

If texas was serious about slowing this down they would shutdown captive breeding industry....$$$
Which means?

don’t let them shut it down we NEED human CWD 😢
Thanks this is a subject crucial for conservationist and hunters alike.
Conservation and Hunting are one and the same . . .
I love that they do it so warm and professionally but before this video a video was so dark and creepy
The government needs to stop this right now
How
Cwd is also here in canada . But there has never been a case of humans getting sick from eating a deer infected with it.
Good I pray
Not recommend to eat them though
@@ghostlyportal8555 you just need to cook the meat well done .
@@donaldduffy8947 true but still who know if it gets worse
@@ghostlyportal8555 yup
What's the deers lifespan with cwd?
It depends on a lot of factors, but CWD can drastically reduce their lifespan and it's common for them to die between 18 months and two years after infection.
Thanks for the info if I see a deer with cwd on the hunt and I don’t have a tag can I shoot it for sanitary issues

How can you tell its got deer zombie disease? Warts, or maybe their eyeballs??
Where did that come from, plum island, maybe.
The precise location and mode of CWD development is not known. The condition was first noted in 1967 in research on mule deer herds in Colorado.
How is CWD going to be stopped as it's in multiple states
Like any disease, it can be very difficult to mitigate and it may never be eradicated entirely, but we have an obligation to try and limit the damage it causes to wildlife and ecosystems. If we do nothing, the problem will get much worse.
Why everyone insists on creating older animals for the sake of larger antlers is sad and risky management
Uhh can this be at Massachusetts North Adams because my back yard is woods
Probably help more if you showed videos of deer with the disease so people would know what it looks like and avoid hunting/eating those animals.

You shouldn't say anything about low risk for human infection. Only that people should test carcasses.
If we do get cwd will I be a zombie
You say that like being a zombie is a bad thing though 😢😢😢
@@Wastelander-420 how is it a good thing
@@RageRage-gy5nu it was a joke, never mind.
Personally I wouldn't like losing touch of reality and not eating alot
Has a human ,,,ever contracted cwd from eating venison?
To date, there have been no reported cases of CWD infection in people. However, it's best for people to avoid eating meat that has tested positive for CWD.
@@texasparksandwildlife I assume that’s because you don’t want to be the first one it jumps to, correct?
@@ErronBlack_Outlawyep, theres always a chance as its the same class as mad cow disease.

@fallinginthed33p yeah? That's why I said what I did, mad cow spread to people so it's good to be cautious of all similar diseases
Why is it nicknamed zombie deer disease
The deer with act very out of it and lethargic. They will usually have lack of coordination and behavior changes.
This leads to them being “zombie-like” to some. Plus it was used by the media because it gets more clicks lol
So CWD is basicly rabies but only in deer
Just wanted to let you guys know sika is pronounced "seeka"
Low risk until they figure how to to us.
THE GOVERMENT SHOULD STOP ANYBODY FROM COMING OR GOING OUT OF TEXAS
Wonder if the virus will mutate.
It’s not a virus. It’s a prion disease.
People who live in countries where deers aren’t native
This is why you dont go near deere that isnt afraid of you anymore
I don’t really feel better that a zombie outbreak has a small chance. 😐
I eat the meat and I'm still alive
It takes symptoms roughly 5 years to appear in deer
The zombies.. are coming..
🪴🟢🟢🟢🧟♀️
good thing i never ate deer or moose before
Yes your much better off eating foo with every chemical known to mankind in it..
Only wolves can stop the spread
My dad is in texas… I should probably tell him about this…
Sounds like you're more interested in drawing attention to yourself, than contacting you Father.
I would have contacted mine Before i made a comment on RUclips . . .
Wee need to stop throwing trash at sea and lakes bc this harm our environment
You Better Get Stockin On Toilet paper And Ramen Before it Gets too late
All we have to do is make deers extinct tho…
True but scientist are struggling to cure cancer and such if this continues happening who knows what will happen to other species or us.
That’s just silly.
Taking out a giant keystone species because a portion have a disease we will most likely be able to cure/ are able to control just bc “well that’s easier” is short sited at best.
I don‘t think we should care so much about the deers. I think we should care about the possibility of a Future infection going over to humans.
To date, no human being has ever contracted chronic wasting disease from animals. But there's still a lot we don't know about it and testing is one of the main ways we're able to study CWD.
@@texasparksandwildlife i know and it could some day reach over to us
@oaaaaaaaaaaa 💀💀💀
Yet another attempt to get us to eat bugs............
You're joking right? You know what this disease does to deers right? You know what would happen if you contracted this right?
That was no help at all!👍🏻
