the National Deer Alliance. We're doing some research in

cooperation with some other similarly-minded groups regarding

funding for depopulation as it regards to deer farms and herds

infected with Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). In otherwords, when

a deer farm is determined to have one or multiple individuals with

CWD, the individuals on the farm are euthanized, or indemnified,

with the assistance of federal funds. Although APHIS and the Cervid

Health Team makes it known the yearly budget for indemnification

as well as depopulation incidences, we would like more specific

information on specifically how much government money is spent on

indemnification and where exactly those funds are being spent. What

is the exact amount paid for a specific incidence? How many

individuals were euthanized during that incidence? We would like this
