Scrapie, a TSE of domestic sheep, has been recognized in the United States since 1947, and it is possible that CWD was derived from scrapie. It is possible, though never proven, that deer came into contact with scrapie-infected sheep either on shared pastures or in captivity somewhere along the front range of the Rocky Mountains, where high levels of sheep grazing occurred in the early 1900s.
you don't think that something on the internet could be wrong for whatever motive.
That was from a Dr. Elizabeth Williams paper, a pathologists who found the brain liesions associated with CWD. Why would she lie? Who were you refering to that proved it went from sheep to deer? I would like to read here also.
