some folks wanting to go Cliven Bundy on Brakkes farm

Iowa Brakkes cwd farm update, some folks wanting to go Cliven Bundy

update...Brakkes and their cwd infected game farm,

seems other shooting pens, and some other folks, are wanting to go Cliven Bundy on game officials, trying to rid the Brakkes farm of CWD, before it can do any more harm to the wild cervid herds.

Sad part is, it’s the likes of the Brakkes and other shooting pen owners, and that industry as a whole, that just don’t get it. they simply don’t care about the wild herds. it’s all about them and their money $$$. that’s my opinion, but see for yourself;


This is What CWD Looks Like on Our Farm

May God have mercy. I don't think I could resist from cutting the wire so they at least had a chance, even knowing the outcome would be costly to the whole deer farm community. What a complete waste of life, to kill and find zero to one of those deer have the disease, but I am banking on zero.

I think we should do what they did at Wind Cave. Let's just take the fence down and let them loose.

Gary That would bring the news. If 100 deer farmers showed up and started taking the fence down. I think another great idea would be to take all the staples out but one then as soon as they fired the first killing shot with all the media present let it go. They will knock that last staple out.

Rhonda,

Like I have told you before they would have to kill me first before I let them needlessly slaughter my animals. When the day comes we should ALL be standing at the gates and say enough is enough. A protest would make the news for sure.

>>> Let's just take the fence down and let them loose.


I THOUGHT that had already been done on the Brakkes farm ???


16. On June 3, 2013, DNR became aware that sections of the exterior fence surrounding the Quarantined Premises had been removed and that some, if not all, of the exterior gates to and from the Quarantined Premises were open. 17. On June 4, 2013, DNR received reports from the public in the area that four wild deer were observed inside the Quarantined Premises. 18. On June 5, 2013, DNR conducted a fence inspection, after gaining approval from surrounding landowners, and confirmed that the fenced had been cut or removed in at least four separate locations; that the fence had degraded and was failing to maintain the enclosure around the Quarantined Premises in at least one area; that at least three gates had been opened; and that deer tracks were visible in and around one of the open areas in the sand on both sides of the fence, evidencing movement of deer into the Quarantined Premises. see more here on this ;

IOWA DNR EMERGENCY CONSENT ORDER IN THE MATTER OF TOM & LINDA BRAKKE D/B/A PINE RIDGE HUNTING LODGE UPDATE AUGUST 21, 2013 snip... 5. On July 16, 2012, DNR received a notice from the Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Lab ("Texas Vet Lab”) that a sample from an adult male deer killed at Pine Ridge tested presumptively positive for CWD. (DNR has an agreement with the Texas Vet Lab to run these preliminary tests.) Because the Texas Vet Lab found this presumptive positive result, protocols required the sample to be sent to the National Veterinary Services Laboratory ("National Lab”) in Ames, Iowa for final confirmation. On July 18, 2012, the National Lab confirmed the positive CWD result in the deer.

6. On July 19, 2012, DNR notified the Brakkes of the positive test by phone. Mr. Brakke was out of state.

snip... 12. The Brakkes depopulated the Hunting Preserve, as specified in the Agreement, from September 10, 2012 to January 31, 2013. As part of this effort, the Brakkes, the staff and their customers killed 199 captive deer and nine captive elk. The DNR obtained 170 CWD samples. (Samples were not taken from fawns and one adult female who was killed in a manner that made sampling impossible.) Of these 199 deer, two additional adult male deer tested positive for CWD. Information provided by the Brakkes confirmed that these two additional deer originated from the Brakke Breeding Facility.

13. DNR installed, with the Brakke's permission, an interior electric fence on October 1 and 2, 2012. 14. The Brakkes cleaned and disinfected, under DNR supervision, the feeders and ground surrounding the feeders on April 5, 2013.

15. On April 26, 2013, the Brakkes hand-delivered a notice to the DNR’s Chief of Law Enforcement Bureau, notifying the DNR that they would no longer operate a hunting preserve on the Quarantined Premises. The Brakkes did not reveal any plans to remove the fence around the Quarantined Premises or to remove the gates to and from the Quarantined Premises in this April 26, 2013 letter.

16. On June 3, 2013, DNR became aware that sections of the exterior fence surrounding the Quarantined Premises had been removed and that some, if not all, of the exterior gates to and from the Quarantined Premises were open. 17. On June 4, 2013, DNR received reports from the public in the area that four wild deer were observed inside the Quarantined Premises. 18.

I get that you like to post a lot of the articles here, but most of the time, its overkill. I drove past his farm up in NC Iowa the other day, and saw about 30 bucks over 200 inches... I know he packed up all his deer down there and brought them up. I get where he wouldn't want to kill deer of that caliber. However, you are correct he doesn't see the impact. Now, I don't know him well, but my farm sits just a few miles away. While it would be awesome seeing his deer get out and run to my farm, it would also be the end of deer hunting in the area for quite sometime...
My bro in law says he talks to him all the time, and they had been testing for years with no positive results. So I have to ask this question, how do you test this without killing deer? I personally think he was feeding my bro a line of BS, and trying to play the whole pity card. The reason I say that, is all he kept saying was how he had to kill all of his deer?? Well thats what made me drive past his farm, and to see all of them, I was really smelling something...

$$$ Several CWD positive and exposed herds are currently under state quarantine in Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin. APHIS has engaged all three states to see if they plan to request indemnity on behalf of the herds’ producers $$$


Stakeholder Announcement: APHIS to Offer Indemnity for CWD Positive Herds as Part of Its Cervid Health Activities

USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service sent this bulletin at 03/03/2014 12:10 PM EST

APHIS to Offer Indemnity for CWD Positive Herds as Part of Its Cervid Health Activities

WASHINGTON, March 03, 2014— APHIS received a total of $3 million in appropriated funding to support cervid health activities in fiscal year 2014, and it will make $1.0 million available for indemnity of chronic wasting disease (CWD) positive, suspect, and exposed farmed cervids.

APHIS is committed to partnering with states and industry to reduce the incidence of CWD in farmed cervid populations. The availability of indemnity funds provides support to affected producers to protect the health of farm cervids and to minimize the spread of CWD to other cervid populations.

Several CWD positive and exposed herds are currently under state quarantine in Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin. APHIS has engaged all three states to see if they plan to request indemnity on behalf of the herds’ producers.

Indemnity will be based on the APHIS-approved appraised value of the animals as well as depopulation and disposal costs. In order to be eligible for indemnity, states need to provide herd plans in accordance with APHIS’ established CWD regulatory requirements (9 CFR 55).

APHIS is also providing $200,000 in support of CWD research efforts at the Agency’s National Wildlife Research Center to develop live animal diagnostic tests. The remaining funding for APHIS’ cervid health programs will support the Cervid Tuberculosis Accreditation Program, the CWD voluntary Herd Certification Program, and general program activities.

*** Infectious agent of sheep scrapie may persist in the environment for at least 16 years***

*** We conclude that TSE infectivity is likely to survive burial for long time periods with minimal loss of infectivity and limited movement from the original burial site. However PMCA results have shown that there is the potential for rainwater to elute TSE related material from soil which could lead to the contamination of a wider area. These experiments reinforce the importance of risk assessment when disposing of TSE risk materials.

*** The results show that even highly diluted PrPSc can bind efficiently to polypropylene, stainless steel, glass, wood and stone and propagate the conversion of normal prion protein. For in vivo experiments, hamsters were ic injected with implants incubated in 1% 263K-infected brain homogenate. Hamsters, inoculated with 263K-contaminated implants of all groups, developed typical signs of prion disease, whereas control animals inoculated with non-contaminated materials did not.

*** PRION 2014 CONFERENCE CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE CWD

https://www.landesbioscience.com/journals/prion/6.Poster_Topic 2_Prion Diseases in Animals.pdf

http://chronic-wasting-disease.blogspot.com/2014/06/prion-2014-chronic-wasting-disease-cwd.html

In summary, in endemic areas, there is a medium probability that the soil and surrounding environment is contaminated with CWD prions and in a bioavailable form. In rural areas where CWD has not been reported and deer are present, there is a greater than negligible risk the soil is contaminated with CWD prion.

snip...

In summary, given the volume of tourists, hunters and servicemen moving between GB and North America, the probability of at least one person travelling to/from a CWD affected area and, in doing so, contaminating their clothing, footwear and/or equipment prior to arriving in GB is greater than negligible. For deer hunters, specifically, the risk is likely to be greater given the increased contact with deer and their environment. However, there is significant uncertainty associated with these estimates.

snip...

Therefore, it is considered that farmed and park deer may have a higher probability of exposure to CWD transferred to the environment than wild deer given the restricted habitat range and higher frequency of contact with tourists and returning GB residents.

I have a question not trying to start anything. Where has cwd affected a heards population other then the DNR killing them off. Seems like ehd should be more of a concern. IMO its always been here. The way they go after it you think hunters were dying by the thousands.

 

[shadowpeople]

Jeez Terry. It's like you are a CWD spam bot. Nobody is going to read your 1000 pages of links to stenography. I get your story, and I've read your bio. I think you would get a lot more message across (I do feel it's important and we don't know all we need to know) if you used complete sentences and summarized your findings in 1 or 2 paragraphs.

Come on man...

Totally agree with the above statement.

CWD is a huge threat to Iowa's Deer herd but people aren't willing to read the endless list of news clips and links. Put your thoughts into your own words and summarize - maybe ending with a link for people who want to study it farther.

 

[deerslayer46j]

I've had a lot of dealings with Tom and have personally skinned a good percentage of the deer that came out of that facility and I will give my word that he tested those deer after they were shot. I had to return every head as soon as the animal was skinned so he could test it. I guess I can't say that he did, but I know he took them. Don't get me wrong though, I don't agree with hunting preserves of any kind. I think it's wrong, it'd be like going out to my pasture and shooting one of my cows. I agree that all the deer should be killed, they know disease could hit when they start an operation like that. No different than "mad cow" in a cattle operation. I live in this area and while I haven't seen any deer I thought had cwd I have seen a lot with ehd and I agree we should take steps to help reduce that. In my opinion, it's mother natures way of cleaning up the herd and making sure there's new bloodlines. Good hunting to you all!
