Outdated approach used to fight [Greater Yellowstone] brucellosis

Billings Gazette. Guest opinion by Don Woerner.  Outdated approach used to fight brucellosis.

This veterinarian pretty much demolishes the agencies’ approach to brucellosis in elk and bison in the greater Yellowstone area as well as demolishes myths such as that the Greater Yellowstone bison and elk are the last reservoir of brucellosis in the United States, e.g., “We have significant infection of feral swine all across our southern and eastern border. The swine brucellosis issue is yet another case of domestic livestock diseases contaminating our wildlife. How do we ever find, identify and slaughter every single infected feral swine? The brucellosis species is a widespread microorganism found everywhere from pet dogs to marine mammals.”

Dr. Woerner practices veterinary medicine in Laurel, Montana.
