Nobody Asked Me…

Sigh…

Late last year, experts confirmed Yellowstone National Park’s first case of the infection — officially known as chronic wasting disease — after a deer carcass found in the Wyoming area of the park tested positive for the highly contagious disease. 

Now, cases have been reported in deer, elk and moose in 33 states across the US, as well as in Canada, Norway and South Korea. 

The disease “damages portions of the brain and typically causes progressive loss of body condition, behavioral changes, excessive salivation, and death,” according to the New York State Department of Health. 

It is 100% fatal, and there are no treatments or vaccines.

It’s been in the ‘wild’ for over 40 years, but is just now getting ‘publicity’ outside the hunting community. I think the reason is, tourists/e.g. ‘regular’ people will start seeing them in Yellowstone and PETA et al will start raising a stink over it.

And yes, I do believe this is similar to ‘Mad Cow’, as the researcher, Sabine Gilch, a researcher  at the University of Calgary, knows what she is talking about.  I also know that people who count on deer, elk, moose, etc. for subsistence protein will continue to hunt the animals.

What are they planning to do with the predators that eat those deer, etc. after they die in the fields/woods? Are they going to put them down too? Cue PETA again…

Maybe PETA could ‘adopt’ all those poor critters and take care of them (pay no attention to their ‘no kill’ shelters that routinely kill dogs/cats).

I think this fall’s hunting season may be a ‘tad’ interesting, depending on where you’re hunting!

Another ‘issue’ for Disney to deal with in 2024…

The Walt Disney Company board wants to hide key financial data from the public, particularly as it relates to their funding of the transgender movement and donations to political candidates, documents reviewed by the Daily Caller reveal.

The 2024 proxy vote ballot for Disney’s annual shareholder meeting, scheduled for April 2, reveals the board doesn’t want the public, or even their own shareholders, to know how much Disney spends on “gender transition compensation and benefits” for its staff. Despite the board’s suggested vote to shareholders, the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) and National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) are urging the company to release the data.

As if the last couple of years hasn’t been bad enough with the losses in Florida, the Kennedy fiasco(s), their stock is down, and Trian Partners is trying to get people on the board, HERE, to try to straighten out the company to the point it’s actually making money again…

And the cost just keeps going up, and up, and up! My cousins have been taking grandkids to Disney for years, but have decided to quit doing that due to costs, ending a 30 year tradition. I feel for the kids, but when you’re looking at $6000+ for them and five kids for four days, I don’t blame them at all.

And honestly, Disney’s entertainment is in the tank, too!

Sigh…

I have it around here somewhere…

Many leftists have made their allegiances clear in the war between Hamas and Israel. This includes members of the mainstream media who have sought to equivocate between Islamic terrorists and the Jewish state — and sometimes report outright lies.

One journalist has taken his bias toward Hamas to an extreme, and it won’t shock you when you find out what outlet he works for.

Especially since this is NOT the first one that has been ‘outed’ so to speak.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, since this has been going on for a while. Fifth and Sixth Columns go back to the Spanish Civil War in the mid-1930s.

And usually the ‘media’ was involved in one way or the other, but I don’t think it’s been as blatant as we’ve seen it in the last ten years or so.

What say you?
