SUMMARY: Efforts to allow the sale and transport of deer and related material in Mississippi pose a significant threat to the state‘s white-tailed deer population due to the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). The state has a tradition of public trust ownership of wildlife, which is under threat by these proposals. Historically, wildlife and the right to hunt have been tied to the right to bear arms, accessible to all social classes, and have shaped conservation efforts. Current legislation may pave the way for commercialization of deer, which many oppose, including the NRA and other attorneys general. There’s concern that commercialization could lead to practices similar to market hunting, which historically depleted species. A unanimous House vote recently reaffirmed that wildlife cannot be commoditized, but further legislative and gubernatorial support is needed to uphold this stance.
