If you don't think Rep. Spencer (HJR27 and JR28) is trying to gut the Department of Conservation in retribution for captive deer industry, check out this link of his statement republished by the American Cervid Alliance. Talk about political spin! The claims in his statement are outrageous.
If you will remember, a bill to reclassify captive deer as livestock (which could potentially be devastating to the entire wild herd) was passed some months ago, then vetoed by the Governor, and narrowly escaped an override vote. Now the same bill is back, along with many other measures that clearly constitute an effort by a few representative to destroy most of the MDC programs people like you and I appreciate.

We need to stand together as a unified voice to combat the multi-pronged and vindictive attack on the MDC, and the best way to do that is to join and support the independent citizen's group, the Conservation Federation of Missouri. http://confedmo.org/

Sure lets destroy a multi million dollar deer hunting industry which took 75 years to build for the sake of a few hundred deer ranchers which introduced CWD to the wild herd.
Get rid of them all.

Ron, there is an article in the Columbia mo Tribune about Spencer today. Is this what you are referring to? I would provide a link, but I'm not sure how to do it.
