VIC ADAMOWICZ: <\/strong><em>In our estimate of a worst case scenario, so avoiding the spread of chronic wasting disease to the extent that it may occur if we can&rsquo;t slow it down, we&rsquo;re looking about a half a million dollars a year in losses to hunters in this worse case scenario. Doesn&rsquo;t sound like a lot, but that half million dollars a year would occur every year if we can&rsquo;t stop CWD. If we could invest in a program that in two years reduces CWD at a cost less than a $2 to $4 million dollars, it&rsquo;s worth it just from the hunting perspective. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The research of Dr. Adamowicz shows that about one third of hunters feel comfortable eating deer meat before it is tested for Chronic Wasting Disease. <\/p>\n<p><em>Thanks today to the <strong>Canadian Institutes for Health Research. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>FOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY<br \/>I&#8217;M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cihr-irsc.gc.ca\">Canadian Institutes of Health Research<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/cihr.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02009-12-15<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Chronic Wasting Disease<\/strong> is a prion folding disease that attacks deer, similar to the way BSE destroys the brains of cattle. <strong>Dr. Vic Adamowicz<\/strong> is a rural economist at the University of Alberta.
