Hunters Told Not To Give To The Needy
Rick's Custom Processing in Collinsville is part of a statewide
program called "Hunters Against Hunger." Hunters, who kill more than
they plan to eat, can bring the deer here. For a small donation, Rick
will process the deer and give the meat to the hungry.
"They was all real happy and real thankful. Some of ‘em don't get to
eat much meat. This way, it's right at Christmas time or Thanksgiving
and it helps them. This way they can get a decent meal,” said Rick Hall
of Rick’s Custom Processing.
But, Hall says the good deed may have to end.
"The Tulsa County Health Department says it's against the law
because it's not USDA inspected meat. So, therefore, that means that
I'm not supposed to give to nobody in the public,” said Rick Hall of
Rick’s Custom Processing.
Here are people trying to do good. It is not costing the state anything, they feed the poor and pay for it themselves. Why does the state want to stop it. The man's shop is inspected, it just is not USDA. And only Tulsa County Health department is stopping it.
It just makes no sense. Especially since my brother-in-law slaughters his pigs sometimes and I get some of the meat from them. That is just good eating. And it is well taken care of by the slaughterhouse.
