Yeah, seriously. Prion diseases are so scary to me, and the thought of Chronic Wasting Disease spreading throughout such a numerous animal as deer is completely terrifying. Wolf reintroduction is clearly the right choice, but I don't have much hope. It's wild the number of diseases that run rampant because humans upset the balance of the ecosystem. Just a couple months ago I was randomly reading about the extinct passengers pigeons that were so numerous that they used to blot out the sky. Turns out there's a theory that the reason why Lyme disease has become so rampant is because the massive population of pigeons used to compete with rodents for the same food, so now the rodent population is much larger than it used to be, and thus Lyme disease flourishes.
