Don't think it would be a bad idea to change the "50 mile rule" to " cwd found in states bordering Alabama"
This would be an unnecessary over-complication of the rule already in effect, which prohibits importation from any state with confirmed CWD, of which there are two dozen and two Canada provinces.
This is the "50 mile rule" I was talking about. If it's worth a chit or not really doesn't matter. If it helps why not start now? If it doesn't what difference does it make?
D. Response for Out-of-State Detection within 50 miles and 5 miles of the Alabama
Border:
If CWD is detected in an adjacent state within 50 miles of an Alabama border, the primary
objectives of the response effort will be to:
a) increase CWD surveillance of those areas within Alabama that are nearest the out-of-
state endemic area
b) communicate and coordinate with the public and other agencies on issues related to
CWD and the actions being taken by WFF.
