Yukon Elk get ticked off

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.
