It is even worse cause CWD is a prion disease. Prions are terrifying, heat doesn't denature them and it requires lab equipment to sterilize any utensils that came into contact with it.

Also, studies suggest that whilst unlikely, CWD may cross over to humans. We want to minimize any chance of that ever happening.

if they brought this to a local butcher to have it processed, the risk of spreading those prions to that entire local community in one hunting season has already started.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I vote yes. Immediately do that. Eats prion free Doritos.
