The link is not 100% but two hunters eating from the same deer population and falling ill at around the same time is extremely unlikely to be a coincidence.
We are essentially one mutation away from this spreading between humans and that would be very, very bad.
Wait, that deer population has been known to have CWD and they were still like “hey, i guess these are good to eat”? tf is wrong with carnists?
I mean this isn’t even a carnist thing in as much as this is just a “MUH RIGHT TO PUT MYSELF AND ALL OF HUMANITY AT MASSIVE RISK” thing
