Poachers bag multiple animals, risk health of Oregon herds
Pendleton, Ore. Three elk, three pronghorns, a mule deer, two turkeys and a bobcat round out a collection of animals illegally killed, tagged, processed or taxidermied in a case that spans multiple jurisdictions. However, the health threats to Oregon deer and elk populations may be of greater concern, according to wildlife authorities.
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and incorrect herd management numbers are just two of the unintended consequences that can happen when people ignore wildlife laws. Cases like this threaten herds and confound biologists working to maintain healthy animals and stable populations according to Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Trooper Tom Juzeler.
