I don't know about sharp mate. If I was, I wouldn't get myself involved with half the battles I do. (But here I go again. lol)
What I can spot though, is "poor governance". This term, IMO is the way to turn the tables on a few things for you folks. If they create bad & useless regulations, attack the governance & process behind these decisions, not just the new rules & regs. It may have them on the back foot & starting to look over their own shoulders for a change. Nothing scares bureaucrats more than an enquiry into their own governance & its not to difficult to find undisclosed interests or bias in most cases where this exists. Even a link to a hunting association which is against deer farming or game reserves should be enough IMO to exclude a bureaucrat from the decision making process on this issue.
I think you have more than enough examples of poor decisions to suggest "poor governance" in relation to your industry & once you get them on the back foot its not to hard to have them display their true opinions or bias, even if its just slips of the tongue.
Still on governance, but in associations. I'm most disappointed at the executives of some of the deer hunting associations who have pointed the finger at other stakeholders. Why do this? Be honest, are you trying to abate CWD or are you pursuing an "ethical" or "Keepers of the hunting spirit" agenda?

Bell,
Rhonda had done a lot of research on these people, until our passive leadership takes it and runs with it, it is no good.

Sharky, you are spot on. The person in charge and responsible for writing CWD regulations, started their career as Veterinatian for HSUS and then worked for wildlife for 6 or 7 years. In my opinion, this needs to be addressed.
This same person was on the Fish and Wildlife Health Committee Agenda in St. Lois, MO, to discuss CWD update. One month later, the fish and Game of MO wrote regulations to close the borders of MO, among many other overreaching regulations on the deer industry.
They wrote regulations to eliminate CWD on our side of the fence while they ignore it and release it on their side of the fence....then turn around and blame us because we are testing 100% while they test 1%. There are litereally thousands of people that are scared to death that they too will have their property and livlihoods taken from them. This is happening all across our country..So ask yourself, what exactly are "they" trying to eliminate, cause it sure isn't CWD.
Do as I say, not as I do....

Our government is corrupt. Little progress can be made in debate there. Deals are made behind the scene before any hearing happens. Moderators are hand picked to control and steer policy. Things have gotten to far out of hand because of not standing up and having the "it will blow over attitude". People with strong ties to PETA and the HSUS now have positions of authority to regulate our industry. They purport themselves as unbiased. The Supreme Court may be where this is headed where the Lacy Act should be debated with regards to our high fenced private property and animals.
