Connecticut CAES Spending  $175,614.00  to Kill Deer in Redding, Ct.

   Redding, CT., White Buffalo, Inc. is currently being paid $175,614.00, over a three year contract for killing (101) deer in Redding, Ct. under the CDC ITM Tick Study currently being run by the CAES ( Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station ). This is  $1,730.00  per deer, to date they have killed ( 51 ) deer and will be paid whether or not they kill any more. After year one of the study it has come to light that White Buffalo, Inc. and the CAES have broken a number of both State and Federal laws in the town of Redding, Ct. and now the public and State of Connecticut need to hold them accountable for these violations which they have committed under the special permission guidelines granted them by the CT. DEEP.  Will the CT. DEEP press charges for the violations committed or will they give White Buffalo, Inc. a pass as they did in Greenwich, CT. because of their  26-7  CT. DEEP volunteer status ?  This is just the latest in a pattern of CT. DEEP bad behavior and disregard for Connecticut law.  The state of Connecticut need`s to cancel the White Buffalo, Inc. ( no-bid ) contract for years two and three, which would save  $117,076.00,  do a thorough investigation of these violations  *, and the CDC ITM tick study to date. *  White Buffalo, Inc. killed ( 16 ) deer at night on Redding, CT. town land ( against town policy ) from their motor vehicle located on 154 Sunset Hill Road in February / March of 2013.  The ( 16 ) illegally taken deer were then transported by the CAES from CT. to NY. for processing which is a Federal - " Lacey Act " violation x ( 16 ). White Buffalo, Inc. is a 501 (C) 3, non profit corporation and very well may become non profit if the CT. DEEP and the State of Connecticut follow the law !
