"CWD is a fundamental threat to the health of deer populations in Wisconsin, and in turn our outdoor economy and traditions. The Chronic Wasting Disease Research and Management Act is a critical tool to help manage and prevent the spread of CWD, and I'm glad to see this bill one step closer to becoming law," said Rep. Ron Kind.
The Chronic Wasting Disease Research and Management Act is also supported by several wildlife and sportsmen organizations, including: the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation (CSF), Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership (TRCP), National Wildlife Federation (NWF), Boone & Crockett, National Deer Association (NDA), North American Deer Farmers Association (NADeFA), Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF), Wildlife Management Institute, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, and the Mule Deer Foundation.
