If I get mail that looks like junk, I shred it and forget it. It's like missed phone calls. If you can't take the minute it takes to leave a voice mail, it isn't important enough to spend more than a nano second on.

Re: Eliminating Chronic Wasting Disease - maybe...???
Funny, when we breed animals to either enhance or eliminate traits it’s called innovative.
When the same thing was purposes for humans it was called eugenics.
I personally believe that things like CWD occur because nature wants to adjust things. Things much more complex than humans can understand.
