I am not certain that is true, and I suspect it has a lot more to do
with the fact that they are already set up to do stuff like this, have
more experts in the related feilds to call upon and there are more
individual humans being touched by this directly that by CCD.  This
also falls squarely in what they understand as their percue and
jurisdiction to uise the term perhaps a little inappropriately.  CCD
may not "feel" the same to them, and is certainly less familiar ground.

And let's face it, the average american likes dogs and cats better than
stinging insects.
