Comment on TIL: Deer are popping off down here
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 3 weeks agoIn Alaska there’s a lottery where you get permission to take a hit moose home for the freezer. I’m not kidding. It’s called the Roadkill Lottery and it’s government official.
And since one can feed a family for months people will be excited for you if you get that call.
Seems weird and I’d worry about hygiene/disease but in a place with such food shortages it would be a shame if some idiot just took the horns and left the rest to rot.

Statute of limitations, I used to work for a butcher.
They did occasionally butcher a buck or two for a buck or two, which was not HACCP certified.
They also used to have an annual holiday to the NT for goat culls. The carcasses would be dressed and frozen, progressively on-sold to the Halal butchers cheap (even though they weren’t dressed as Halal).
I know that other local butchers in the region did even more dodgy stuff, a few were closed down, and the Halal and Kosher butchers were just as bad, if not worse (their customers had higher expectations for them).
