What to know about Chronic Wasting Disease
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 дек 2022
- Chronic Wasting Disease is a fatal neurological disease affecting members of the deer family. If left unmanaged, CWD can have catastrophic, long-term impacts on Texas deer.
If you’re deer hunting in Texas, test your harvest for CWD. It’s mandatory in CWD zones and voluntary elsewhere. With your participation, biologists can gather statewide data to aid in CWD management strategies to reduce the risk of CWD spread.
For more information and a map of CWD zones and check stations, visit tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/...

If texas was serious about slowing this down they would shutdown captive breeding industry....$$$
Which means?
@@lclnbm Texas is full of high fence ranches, captive whitetail breeding is a multi million dollar industry by itself, a high fence ranch with an unnaturally high density of deer is the likely source of cwd since pathogens/disease can spread rapidly in high concentrations of wildlife.
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.
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 . . .
The government needs to stop this right now
How
I love that they do it so warm and professionally but before this video a video was so dark and creepy
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.
Personally I wouldn't like losing touch of reality and not eating alot
THE GOVERMENT SHOULD STOP ANYBODY FROM COMING OR GOING OUT OF TEXAS
Thanks doc. Earthshattering info there
Why everyone insists on creating older animals for the sake of larger antlers is sad and risky management
Just wanted to let you guys know sika is pronounced "seeka"
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Would California be safe😭
Uhh can this be at Massachusetts North Adams because my back yard is woods
You shouldn't say anything about low risk for human infection. Only that people should test carcasses.
Low risk until they figure how to to us.
This is why you dont go near deere that isnt afraid of you anymore
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.
Oh wait a minute how did this get started and how commits now only around where was it in the 18 and 17 and 1600s explain that to me

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.
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?
@texasparksandwildlife This is false, as a new study shows that all liberals are infected with a mutated strain of CWD. It isn't fatal but explains their eratic behavior and lack of fear to disgusting or dangerous situations. It also explains their strange desire to be disarmed leaving themselves completely unprotected against criminals.
@@ErronBlack_Outlawyep, theres always a chance as its the same class as mad cow disease.
@@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.
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.
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.
@@texasparksandwildlife I know that a it has not jumped yet but if the zombie apocalypse is gonna happen it probably would be in the 2020's
So CWD is basicly rabies but only in deer
People who live in countries where deers aren’t native
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.
Wonder if the virus will mutate.
It’s not a virus. It’s a prion disease.
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
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
Can it kill human?
So far there have been no recorded cases of any human beings contracting Chronic Wasting Disease.
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
The zombies.. are coming..
🪴🟢🟢🟢🧟♀️
You Better Get Stockin On Toilet paper And Ramen Before it Gets too late
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
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
Deers are more important than humans
@@oaaaaaaaaaaa 💀💀💀
@@LangLebeDasKaisertumOestereich see because deers start with d and so does d*** and that’s very close to the butt
All we have to do is make deers extinct tho…
Or maybe make a vaccine instead of making a beautiful animal disappear from this world
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.
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!👍🏻
