Episode 90: Zombie Deer Disease (w/ Larissa Nituch)

This week, on the Halloween edition of Outdoor Journal Radio, the boys are joined by Larissa Nituch of the Ontario MNRF to discuss a very real and very scary disease facing North America's cervids, Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD).First, however, a bit of housekeeping was in order. Topics discussed included: whether Ang and Pete should stop swearing; TV vs. Podcast personalities; the new Largemouth Bass strain; Striped Bass poaching in PEI; crash landing in the Amazon; and lion photography gone wrong.With those matters out of the way, Larissa joins the show! Topics discussed included: CWD conspiracies; whether humans can get CWD; the monkey study; what an infected deer looks like; where CWD has been detected; whether ticks can carry it; how the MNRF is monitoring for the disease; how wolves may be able to help; how it got here; whether hunters should be getting their deer tested; what you can do to help; and much more!To never miss an episode of Outdoor Journal Radio, be sure to like, subscribe, and leave a review on your favourite podcast app!More from Angelo and Pete:► WEBSITE► FACEBOOK► INSTAGRAM► YOUTUBEMore on CWD:► BRITISH COLUMBIA► ALBERTA► SASKATCHEWAN► MANITOBA► ONTARIO► QUEBEC► NEW BRUNSWICK► NOVA SCOTIA► PEI► NEWFOUNDLAND► YUKON► NORTHWEST TERRITORIES► NUNAVUTThank you to today's sponsors!Invasive Species Centre - Protecting Canada's land and water from invasive speciesColeman Canada - The Outside is Calling, Answer the Call.
