The Hunt For The Boogeyman

You better watch yourself. Guy I know was just labeled a masoginistic manipulator in an exit interview with a coworker.

I have wildlife on my side.  Wildlife outrank people.

It's called being woke.  

Get with it boomer.  

This was the page I was looking for. Of all the places on earth, where would such a perfect disease to control cervids be developed?

Mission and Objectives

NWRC develops wildlife damage management methods in the following areas:

Damage assessment
Investigation of the biology and behavior of problem animals
Evaluation of the impact of management practices on wildlife and the environment
Development and improvement of management technologies
Investigation of potential applications of new management technologies
Support of registration of chemicals and drugs used to manage wildlife
Transfer of scientific and technical information
Provision of scientific guidelines on wildlife damage for use by regulatory agencies
Development of cooperative research and training with other organizations
Responsiveness to needs of user groups and the public

The Center evaluates damage situations and develops methods and tools to reduce or eliminate damage and resolve land-use conflicts. NWRC scientists study birds, mammalian predators, rodents, and other wildlife that cause serious but localized damage problems. The Center designs studies to ensure that the methods developed to alleviate animal damage are biologically sound, effective, safe, economical, and acceptable to the public. NWRC scientists produce the appropriate methods, technology, and materials for reducing animal damage. Approximately two-thirds of NWRC's 150-person staff is located in Fort Collins; the remainder are located throughout the United States to address regional wildlife damage management issues. NWRC routinely conducts international consultancies in this specialized area.

NWRC staff specializes in the following disciplines:

Animal behavior/psychology
Animal care
Archives management
Chemistry
Computer science
Ecology
Economics Electronics
Genetics
Immunology
Information transfer
Pharmacology
Physiology
Quality assurance Statistics
Toxicology
Veterinary medicine
Wildlife biology
Wildlife disease
Zoology

Holy shit, the elimination of the base of a food chain?  They must not like the Spotted Owl much.  

So if one male mouse could breed 99 females, we would have an explosion of mice?

They've looked at doing that with mosquitoes because they are such a huge transmitter of human disease, but thought better of it for the ecological impacts.
