密歇根众议院通过法案 取消鹿诱饵禁令, 引发辩论 科学与政治 管理慢性消瘦疾病。 Michigan House passes bill to lift deer baiting ban, sparking debate over science vs. politics in managing chronic wasting disease.

密歇根州议会已通过一项法案, 取消2018年颁布的下半岛禁鹿诱饵禁令, 以减缓16个县的慢性消瘦疾病(CWD)蔓延。 The Michigan House has passed a bill to lift the state’s deer baiting ban in the Lower Peninsula, enacted in 2018 to slow chronic wasting disease (CWD) spread across 16 counties. 虽然国家自然资源局说它支持讨论,但它更倾向于通过自然资源委员会作出基于科学的决定,而不是采取立法行动。 While the DNR says it supports discussion, it prefers science-based decisions through the Natural Resources Commission over legislative action. 猎人和一些立法者认为,禁令未能遏制CWD, 使鹿群人口过剩情况恶化, 财产损坏和车辆碰撞事件增加, Hunters and some lawmakers argue the ban has failed to curb CWD, worsened deer overpopulation, and increased property damage and vehicle collisions, urging a lift to improve hunting and population control. 批评者警告政治过度蔓延可能会破坏科学管理,因为2025年的一项研究表明诱饵会增加鹿的密度和疾病传播风险。 Critics warn political overreach could undermine scientific management, citing a 2025 study showing baiting increases deer density and disease transmission risk. 该法案现已移交民主党控制的参议院,对受社署影响地区没有豁免。 The bill now moves to the Democratic-controlled Senate, with no exemptions for CWD-affected areas.
