In reply to the discussion: Cornell students kill bear, bring it into residence hall to skin and butcher [View all]Farmer-Rick
(12,065 posts)31. It's how they "processed" it that's a problem.
It was done in an unsanitary disgusting manner. The smell alone would fill the dorm sleeping area depending on how big it was. I wouldn't want to be cooking my dinner next to that mess. It should be done outside or in a slaughter house. There are processing kitchens you can rent.
I don't know of any farmers who process their meat in their regular kitchen. It's way too dangerous. Cross over contamination from raw meat can make you very ill and even kill you.

OP
Will they hang the body parts to decorate the walls of their dorms in the customary way?

Even dorm kitchens must have some enforcement of sanitation laws. This was unbelievably stupid. nt

My question was more about "sanitation laws" than the specificity of a dorm.

AFAIK most people do this partly in the field and outside at home, but not in a kitchen which is not their property ...

"not in a kitchen which is not their property" -- again, my question is more about "sanitation laws."

Once you've field-dressed it, it's just raw meat. If you've skinned it, you won't smell anything but raw meat.

It was a wild animal--Not in a shared/communal kitchen. Parse each word in that sentence.

You're being cute. I think you and every other person in this board know exactly what I mean.

As I say, it was a rude move. But it's not like a chlorine leak or black mold.

WTF is wrong with people? Ya see, when you're a guy who was gifted with a small appendage. Ya gotta compensate.

Gosh, and my college roommate complained about my keeping a fetal pig in our refrigerator.

Well, there were plenty of people upset by their actions, so your opinion is not universal.
