state officials are proposing new actions and regulatory changes to
prevent a deadly brain disease from infecting the state's deer and moose
populations.
The chronic wasting disease plan was released Wednesday
by the state Department of Environmental Conservation and Department of
Agriculture and Markets. It's intended to protect both wild deer and
captive ones.
The plan includes joint inspections of deer and elk
farms. It also prohibits the import of certain parts of deer, moose or
elk shot by hunters outside New York.
It calls on the public to be vigilant and report any sick or abnormally behaving deer and to avoid feeding wild deer.
Chronic wasting disease is similar to "mad cow disease" in cattle. It has been found in 24 states, including https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/pennsylvania" rel="nofollow - Pennsylvania and https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/ohio" rel="nofollow - Ohio .
