βAttorney General and Texas Parks & Wildlife Commissioners, I have a proposition for you.
It is my opinion that TPWD is trying to destroy me, my livelihood, my health and the ranch. I am an 83 year old, who dearly loves my deer and hate to see them slaughtered over a political disease.
However, I will pursue federal indemnification funds and agree to let TPWD come slaughter my healthy bucks, doe and innocent baby deer if, and only if, all the commissioners and the Attorney General attend the slaughter and view the carnage. In attendance on that day or days, will be every TV, newspaper or podcast I can get to be there. I will also have present hundreds of my friends, family, my Senator as well as my House Representative, and those that support my right to protect
the deer from inhumane and senseless slaughter.
On the other hand, if the Commissioners vote and request such that TPWD will allow me to let all of the deer in my breeding facility (170B) out onto my 1500 acre game preserve (170R) which surrounds the breeding facility, I will give up my breeder's license (TX0018). The game preserve has chain-link fencing surrounding it with most of it being double fenced. I have had a breeder's license for more than 37 years even before TPWD assigned TX" breeding license numbers.
The actions of TPWD lead me to believe that they want to get rid of all the deer breeders in the State of Texas. The liberation of my deer into my game preserve would put one of the oldest and longest standing deer breeders out of business. The slaughter of my whole herd would put me as a deer breeder out of business, as well as destroy a small agricultural business and put all of its
employees out of jobs. For your information, it is voluntary in Oklahoma and Louisiana to monitor CWD for "herd
certification." Even without that status, deer breeders may release their deer to their own high fenced land or to the high fenced land of others in their states. When they do, they don't have to test when deer are liberated or die in those states. Regulators in those states recognize that CWD is a "political" disease.β
