Paul Johansen Quotations

We've always suspected that deer were able to pick up the (infection) through the environment somehow.

We're going to stick to science on this thing and avoid speculation.

We absolutely did not want them turned back into the wild because of disease concerns. We operated under the proper protocols established by the veterinary community.

You get lots of animals confined in a pretty tight area, so there are concerns about disease transmission.

Deer season is coming around this fall and people will be able to go out and hunt.

This is a very serious finding ... it is not cause for hysteria. It's not cause for people running to the hills saying our deer population will plummet.

I'm sure she was operating in entirely good faith.
