In Canada, the Yukon government has started to hand out free meals to elk in an attempt to kill off an alien invader.  It’s an effort to kill off a tick species that’s infected the Yukon’s entire elk population. Now the government is trying to kill off those ticks by feeding the elk corn that has been laced with medication.
