Than wild animals. It depends on the farmer.

If you look at the link in the post, it says cornell students kill bear bring it into residence hall to skin and butcher.

Processing an adult male bear weighing maybe about 300 pounds or a female averaging about 170 pounds is different than college kids frying up a couple pounds of meat. https://dec.ny.gov/nature/animals-fish-plants/black-bear

I didn't make the Trich comment I was quoting the article. Tell them they are wrong.

My question was more about "sanitation laws" than the specificity of a dorm. WhiskeyGrinder Friday #17

AFAIK most people do this partly in the field and outside at home, but not in a kitchen which is not their property ... eppur_se_muova Friday #28

When I process my own animals Farmer-Rick Friday #27

Once you've field-dressed it, it's just raw meat. If you've skinned it, you won't smell anything but raw meat. WhiskeyGrinder Friday #37
