MN Deer Farmer warning...they are back at it

[Bonasababy]

Reporting that after losing in court every step of the way right up to the Supreme Court...MN Deer farmers plan to try and use the MN legislature to drop the law enacted to help control the spread of CWD in the state.

Most instances of CWD in the state have been directly linked to deer farms, including some highly egregious ones.

No word yet on which legislators will sponsor this, sure it will be the usual rabid anti government/wacko republicans though....Will be watching it.

Wesenberg will be one.

The legislature is their only option, but it's also nearly the same makeup in the legislature that put the newest restrictions on deer farms, so I don't know if they'll get much traction. Especially considering they already went through the entire court system and lost.

Will definitely be watching though.

Yea, but it will be another chance for all the people that voted for him, Steve Green and others to wake up to how their legislators are working against hunters and hunting.

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t there currently a 67/67 split in the MN house with the DFL having a majority in the senate? Requiring bipartisan support to pass anything in the house and DFL support in the senate. Then it would have to be signed by a far left governor. Hard to blame any legislation on “rabid republicans”

We don’t do facts here

If “rabid republicans” introduce and sponsor legislation that is opposed to the interests of hunting, then they should absolutely be held accountable for it. Same if it is were “extremism democrats”. This whole mindset where anything my team does is defended and anything the other team does is vilified is completely out of control.

Guess the difference for me is I wouldn’t have mentioned either since both sides hunt I think. Don’t really see a reason to start a pissing match over conservation. Have a nice night

It could be, if most deer "farmers" actually cared about it. But that would cost them money in double fencing, actual transport bans, etc.

Why exactly do we have deer "farms"?
