LOUISIANA -- A charity group called "Hunters for the Hungry" donated 1,600 pounds of freshly processed deer meat, called venison, to local homeless shelters across the state.
But no good deed goes unpunished.

The state of Louisiana refuses to allow homeless people to eat venison under any circumstances. Not only that, but the Health Department officials would not even allow the hunters to take their meat back and gladly use it for something else.

Instead, government workers ripped open every package of meat, put them into dumpsters, and poured bleach on all the meat. They claimed that the bleach bath would prevent animals from getting sick from eating the meat.

Animals getting sick? Do they go around putting bleach on roadkill? This is tyranny at it's finest! :mad:

If an animal eats bleach you know well it will get sick...

Neat. They managed to offend all hunters, everyone who's ever been hungry, every American Indian (they don't mind taking the life of game animals, but hate for the deaths to be in vain), and environmentalists who hate chlorine in the ecosystem all at the same time. And probably quite a few other people as well. And they wasted tax dollars (otherwise known as their salaries) and perfectly good bleach too.

No wonder the government spends so much time trying to prevent us from offending each other. It hates competition!

bleach kills bacteria, so maybe some of the homeless people waited for the tyrants to leave the dumpster and went in and got some fresh and clean meat. Rinsing off of course and then BBQ

Our Dumb World.

Sensible bureaucrats, even if they were trying to shield the bureaucracy from lawsuits, could have simply given the food back to the hunters. But no, they couldn't use common sense, they had to be idiots.

And also take notice, and I really think people miss this a lot when reading these articles, things only went south when some omnipotent-feeling moral busybody reported to the bureaucrats that Venison was being served.

That's why when people here mock others for posting everything on the internet whether appropriate or not to their FB Pages (or Google+, whatever), they're right. Because you may *think* you know all 500 of your "FB Friends", but one of them probably sits there quietly loathing all the political crap you post, and feels like exacting a little revenge when you post something "naughty."

These people are just like the jerks who take municipalities or churches to court over nativity scenes. They're dark-hearted miserable people, and their purpose in life is to drag you down to their level.

I doubt they thought they were dealing with anybody, they were just trying to donate food.

The lesson is just cut out the middle man (government sponsored homeless shelters) and pass out the food directly. Maybe next year they could organize a "game food festival", sell tickets (I'd buy one if I lived there), and let the community come in and try the wares. Pass out tickets to homeless people ahead of time. (Some may sell the tickets, but that's the free market at work). Hey, if they did it that way, they might even get government funding for their venture. Isn't the Louisiana state government still trying to convince people that swamp rat (excuse me "nutria") is nutritious and delicious?

Yes the government says eat this:

What a disgusting, offensive act. And they're still trying to justify it. :mad:

This is what they said on their facebook (where they were getting a lot of flak until they deleted it):
https://www.facebook.com/LaHealthDept?fref=ts


In January, we received a complaint about deer meat being served at Rescue Mission in Shreveport. Our health inspectors investigated promptly and discovered Rescue Mission did have deer meat obtained from hunters, and deer meat is not permitted to be served in a shelter, restaurant or any other public eating establishment in Louisiana. Although the meat was processed at a slaughterhouse (Bellevue) that is permitted by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture to prepare and commercially distribute meat obtained from approved farms, deer are not an approved meat source to be distributed commercially. And because hunters brought the deer to the slaughterhouse, there is no way to verify how the deer were killed, prepared or stored. All of those factors present potentially harmful situations that could cause serious or even fatal foodborne illnesses. Because the meat was potentially unsafe, our health inspectors ordered it destroyed, in accordance with the law. Bleach was poured over the meat as an extra precaution so that animals would not eat it from the dumpster and become sick or die. This is a process called “denaturing,” which is standard procedure for these situations.


According to some of the comments this group has been donating meat to homeless shelters for around 20 years and there was never a problem.

Yes, the hunters have been doing that for twenty years. But the Monsanto CEO hasn't been in charge of the USDA for twenty years. He has only been in charge of the USDA for four years. But he has been a busy boy...

Wildlife and seeds really seem to bother Monsanto. But they'll figure out how to get their cut sooner or later.


Yesterday, we had to temporarily disable our Facebook page because some users were posting comments containing profanity and other unacceptable language. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

What could be more appropriate than cussing some bureaucrats who wants to starve the homeless and wastes perfectly good food because it's a tool of Monsanto? What could be more appropriate than cussing some bureaucrats who want us to let the deer overpopulate their habitat to the point where they're suffering while we eat swamp rat? Sounds appropriate to me.

Facebook page changed to now read:


The Louisiana departments of Health and Hospitals, Agriculture, and Wildlife and Fisheries have quickly engaged in a dialogue to address the concerns of our good Samaritan hunters and their community role of assisting those in need. We are looking at potential issues in state law and regulations surrounding hunters being able to donate their game. We remain fully committed to protecting our residents’ health, yet we also equally recognize and support the goodwill of Louisiana residents who contribute to charities that assist those who need food, and we want to explore how they can do so in a safe way. Leaders and experts from all three agencies are fully engaged in this issue with legislators and stakeholders to see how we can harmonize our procedures toward a program that allows game donations while ensuring health and food safety, including discussions about whether any changes to existing state laws should occur in the upcoming legislative session.

The comments are brutal.

Well, they have to exact a certain level of punishment on the people who give up on living inside the standard, productive norm. Those kinds of people are a disease, and will ultimately corrupt our society from within if we feed them. Like stray dogs, they have to be shooed away, or taken to the pound. Give 'em a meal if you have to, but if we give them something too good to eat, it will just encourage them to come back for more.

Or, this ever burdensome (and mostly meaningless) way of living a life justified on paper is just too much for some to carry, and for some they care too little to justify it. Mistakes always add up here, and are rarely dispelled, so it's easy to give up. Life doesn't happen on paper, and the paper paths we're on will victimize many. Paper burns, fire spreads. Add up all the paper you please. We could all be hungry, soon. Wouldn't you like some venison?

Step out of the paper box mind-frame for a minute./vent
