Not all legislators are in support of the cervid industry. I
have served on Agriculture and in the House for the past 3 years, spoke against
this unnatural "farming" industry in committee and vote to regulate.
I think this industry is a crime against nature. One would do well to
demonize the culprits but please know those who share your views and
have ethical standards to vote them on the House
floor. Cervid farming is a repugnant, perverse
insult to farmers and sportsmen/ women. The changes in the laws to allow
cervid farming occurred during the Engler/Harding Administration
and have taken years to enact. Current research on CWD
keeps me awake nights, the devastation to our Tourist Industry if/when CWD
infects our deer/elk population is huge, and I have no price to
put on the suffering of the wildlife. The Republican controlled House and
Senate do not appropriate funds for statutorily required oversight of many
essential services. The Republican controlled House
enacts legislation requiring multiple reports which
redirects MDEQ and Agriculture staff from their essential work to desk
jobs. Please do not blanket indict. Kathleen Law D-Gibraltar 23rd
