Subject: Pennsylvania Game Commission Law and Law Makers Message Board HUNTING PA.COM BANS SPEAKING ABOUT CWD
Date: December 21, 2005 at 8:37 am PST

Greetings State of PA hunters et al,

SEEMS Big Brother is working everywhere these days. after 8 years of trying to warn hunters about CWD on many boards in many states, i find a new low in the state of PA. Banning and deleting postings TSS or anyone from speaking about CWD evidently. the only thing i ever posted was the latest on CWD from some of the top peer review papers to date, and some old confidential data (with references and sources pdf files) for all to see. but evidently, after just trying to warn these hunters, and have been since Sept. 2002 with not one complaint waged against me that i am aware of, the Pennsylvania Game Commission Law and Law Makers board has banned me from speaking about CWD. NOT only on that board, but any board at ;

i suppose if they just bury there heads in the sand and don't speak about it, it will go away. good luck. ...TSS

Loc: TEXAS CWD IMPORTATION OF CERTAIN CARCASS PARTS BAN
#513483 - Mon Dec 19 2005 03:59 PM

Release #143-05

GAME COMMISSION BANS IMPORTATION OF CERTAIN CARCASS PARTS FROM STATES WITH CWD

Using newly-granted emergency powers, Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Vern Ross today issued an order banning the importation of specific carcass parts from states and Canadian provinces where CWD had been identified in free-ranging cervid populations.

The ban closely mirrors a similar ban issued on Sept. 21 by the state Department of Agriculture, with the support of the Game Commission. Agriculture Secretary Dennis Wolff used his emergency powers to issue the ban pending action by the Board of Game Commissioners to grant similar emergency powers to the agency's executive director.

"With chronic wasting disease (CWD) present in free-ranging and captive wildlife populations in 14 states and two Canadian provinces, we must act responsibly and clearly to protect our wild and captive populations of deer and elk, as well as other cervid family members," Ross said. "This ban applies to carcass parts from deer, elk or other cervids susceptible to CWD taken from the wild or from captive facilities in those states where CWD has been found in wild herds.

"There are many scientific unknowns about CWD, so this order may need to be altered in the future based on new discoveries, as well as new states that find CWD within their borders or other species that prove susceptible to the disease."

Terry,

I have to request that you discontinue from posting information on CWD. I have received concerns from individuals on the validity of your information. Since I am not educated on the subject, I cannot validate that the information is correct and or factual. As time moves on, this subject will become quite a "touchy subject" and any information, factual or not, will be scrutinized. From now on, we will have to rely on the PGC to educate the residents here in PA on the subject.

Thank you for your concern in this matter and keeping a close vigil on the topic.

Samuel
