Glenn Thompson said "I thank the ranking member for that question. It is an important part of this discussion. Actually, first of all, it is important for people to understand that, let me just say upfront, chronic wasting disease is not transmitted to humans. There is no case of that. I know that wasn't your question, but I think that is important. It is not transmitted to humans. I think it is important for those who might be listening to understand that. I don't want to create a fear factor here. The research of the USDA so far shows there has never been a documented case of a farm deer transferring CWD to wild population." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
