Alberta deer populations could drop due to Chronic Wasting Disease
“One of the big concerns about the travel of it to the west is we’re getting very close to the national parks and of course, it’s going to be a real issue if it gets into the national parks,” said Rudyk. “Right now we’ve had Alberta cases in mule deer, whitetail moose and elk. If it gets into the national parks, we could see transfer that also into the caribou, which is already a pretty precarious population to begin with.”

Going to be some bad news for BC is this stuff ends up in the National Parks!
Not a far leap to here!
