Ontario hunters concerned about a disease threatening the province's deer population say they're pleased to hear the government is taking steps to halt its spread.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a progressive, fatal disease of the nervous system of deer, elk, moose and caribou. One recent case was confirmed in Quebec, just 15 kilometres from the Ontario border, leading to a massive deer cull in that province.
So far, however, it hasn't been found in wild Ontario deer.https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/chronic-wasting-disease-eastern-ontario-ottawa-hunters-wildlife-government-ministry-natural-resources-1.4853722
