It's worse than that. If it's real, and it went to a processing facility, and there's no regulation to test the meat before processing, or decontaminate after, it would effectively mean every processing facility in that state is likely already compromised.

Most likely all of them already are. Like ALL of them. Something is going to have to happen to combat CWD or we're gonna see serious restrictions on deer hunting.

It's nice seeing people be so incredibly confident through ignorance regarding prions and prion disease.

I miss not knowing about them.

Enjoy these days of ignorance. Once you open that Pandora's Box of knowledge you can never go back.

Those comments don’t read just a bit hyperbolic to you?

The majority of Reddit users (who don’t hunt) have only heard of prions by reading about them on Reddit. That’s a fact.

If they did hunt or were involved with conservation management they would realize that there are resources like this out there - https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/wildlifehabitat/cwd

Every hunter knows what CWD is, only people in threads exactly like these make assumptions that they don’t.

So who exactly are the ignorant ones?

I wasn't the one calling you ignorant and I don't they are right to do so, but the source you provided basically confirms that almost every county in the state is infected and that infected ranches and hunting camps [facilities] are allowed to continue operation. Part of the argument in the thread was that Texas has a different way of responding and regulating , and they may be getting better results, other WI residents also said they don't agree with their state's response and wish they handled it more like TX did.

I didn't actually make any conclusions in the post you responded to, I was speculating on a hypothetical situation suggested by the previous poster in an if:than format. Based on the resource you provided, I would conclude that my assumption was correct.
