Hiker Attacked by Bison on Antelope Island
This happened in Utah and the previous video was from Colorado. Apparently bison get a little agitated during mating season also. Must be the testosterone. And people say PMS is bad. Apparently males can be swept away into crazyland by hormones too.

CWD - Chronic Wasting Disease
http://cwd-info.org/faq/
Though many observers try to compare CWD with “mad cow disease”, the diseases are distinctly different. Currently, there is no evidence that CWD poses a risk for humans; however, public health officials recommend that human exposure to the CWD infectious agent be avoided as they continue to evaluate any potential health risk.

I found this on the blackturtle.us South Sierra Plants website. It's either an ecological disaster or a bacon lover's wet dream. Could be a major porkfest!
