No Chronic Wasting Disease in NWO

Nearly 14-hundred deer heads were tested for chronic wasting disease last year in Ontario.


Ministry of Natural Resources Wildlife Research Technician Tore Buchanan says 362 deer heads were tested in the Dryden, Kenora and Fort Frances Districts.

The results weren't surprising according to Buchanan.

Chronic wasting disease is a fatal disease affecting members of the deer family.
