    Allowed to spread and develop through bad legislative decisions around game ranching /=/ created or engineered by humans in a lab. Humans had a hand in allowing this disease to evolve and spread. But it was not engineered in a lab and ‘created’ by humans as ops comment seemed to indicate. Again Breh, that’s not what ‘first erupted’ means. I don’t disagree with Rowledge’s point that human decisions lead to the state we’re in now. But saying we created the disease is dangerously close to conspiracy theory misinformation that I believe it’s a bad idea to perpetuate. Also not a single other paper or article words the development like that. Rowledge has a vested interest in protecting wildlife and therefor has incentive to embellish in order to provoke action.
