Thank you for posting those “lit-links”.
Evidence is there Terry, the only problem is – little effort is being shared (or brought to the forefront) as long as mankind’s spindoctors can blame it on other “simple” little things like allergies, chronic bowel or old age.
Oh and I forgot to add – whip out a wonderful pill to address anything other than the cause….
I agree that Mr. Wilkinson conducted an exceptional interview, including informative video links. Dr. Smith is an articulate speaker and a consummate wildlife scientist. I will purchase either an e-book or hardcopy of ‘Where Elk Roam’.
As a retired wildlife biologist and former Army senior veterinary animal specialist—who has a keen interest in parasitology/histology—the subject of mysterious, devoid of nucleic acid prions is intriguing.
Thank you for posting this article; otherwise, I would have most likely overlooked an important chronicle of the Jackson Hole/ National Elk Refuge saga.
Incidentally, I am strongly opposed to domesticated, livestock-like supplemental feeding of wildlife—a perspective founded upon biological, epidemiological, and philosophical principles.
Personally I have just recently started reading his book which is a good read. One thing for sure here in Wyoming with all the Hunters …. issues as concerning the Elk are anymore Big Politics! I personally am not a Hunter with being just more of a Wilderness wanderer! I love to see the landscape covered with wildlife! I personally like the idea of cutting off the feeding, (except for maybe super harsh winters possibly), and teaching the Elk to somehow relearn those old migration paths. It can be done do think. But remember several springs ago, when the pickup trucks where lined up for how long of a distance, with all of these hunters and people donating hay to the Elk Refuge to feed the Elk.
