I could flip this video, and say "Are the wild herd of deer putting our countries food supply and export ability at risk!" Should we eliminate the wild herd from the landscape? The wild herd in Iowa has grown 1000 times in size since 1930. In Minnesota only 8% of the population hunts deer. 15-20% of your insurance premiums are because of road kills of wild deer. this paid by 100% of the population All this risk and population of wild deer for the pleasure of a few? Will society tolerate this?

If Korea sees the research of the prions being able to uptake in plants, and prions are persistent in our soils for maybe 20+ years, are we potentially poisoning our soils for years to come, causing potential embargoes by foreign countries of our feed grains, beef products, dairy products,etc..?? The Upper Midwest has some of the most productive soils in the world, "The bread basket of the world"!!! When you get into politics with foreign countries, would this be the hammer some would need to stop doing business with us? They can say we are to big a risk and buy from Brazil. What would this do to our Ag economy?

At least in preserves there is a fence to control the spread of a biological hazard, if one would arise. Is the wild herd to much of a risk to the Ag Industry?
