Part of our continuing Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) coverage: a chance to hear Minnesota House Environment and Natural Resources Finance and Policy Chair talk about CWD.
Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) is on the verge of exploding across the upper Midwest. @reprickhansen gave us a lot of science and facts about the issue, updating us on the fight to save MN's deer/elk/moose populations from ignorance. #Spotlight Interview! https://t.co/2b3yAjItZ6

From Hansen's latest legislative update:
I had the opportunity to be a guest on The Matt McNeil Show this weekend! We had a great conversation on AM950 Radio about chronic wasting disease (CWD) – a fatal, neurological disorder that affects deer and similar species – and what the state is doing to stop it from spreading. CWD is a serious threat to Minnesota’s wild deer, our economy, and family and community traditions that involve hunting. We need to do all we can to control it. . . .
