Stephanie Skultety, Philip Ask Your S T A T E P O L IC E By Norm Zeller ______________________ Often times I’ve been asked by either a concerned citizen or in some cases by a defendant who we have just seized an elk from, “ What happens to the meat?” This question often leads towards a whole array of questions, such as when do we seize wildlife and when we don't. What about the weapons that were used to kill wildlife illegally? What about wildlife not considered to be edible, i.e., non game mammals or birds that are protected? What about a large seizure of food fish when it was taken by illegal commercial methods or during a closed season? The thought of this question can give me flashbacks when not too long ago I was involved in a case where there were literally tons of food fish which were illegally taken by commercial methods and valued in the thousands of dollars. However, for the purpose of this article I w ill stick to the original question and if you have any additional questions we can address those in another article. Once the decision has been made by the game officer to arrest or cite and seize the illegal wildlife, let's just say. “ an elk taken during a closed season.” The first concern is that we have just taken pro perty that may or may not go back to the person we seized it from. After all, we have to prove our case in court, but regardless we do not want the meat to go to waste. Therefore, adequate care must be given to prevent spoilage and to preserve it as evidence in the event the defendant wants a trial. At the time the meat or carcass was seiz ed. it is inspected and documented as evidence. This is to insure that the meat is fit for human consumption. Nearly all state police assigned to the Fish and Wildlife Division are certified meat inspectors through the State Department of Agriculture. After the seizure has been made it is handled as evidence prescribed in the same set of rules, laws and department policy as it would in any other type of criminal prosecution. I won't bore you with the details of this other than I will tell you very strict records are kept and often times are audited by supervisors. These records are also maintained for court purposes. After the court proceedings are finalized and the meat is ordered seized by the court it is then given to a charity organization, state institution or other non-profit organization as prescribed by Oregon Administrative Rules. Locally the meat is most often given to the Neighborhood Center, a non-profit organization. The meat is again accounted for by a receipt and cannot be sold. The Neighborhood Center has to pay for the cut ting and wrapping. In the case where we salvage a game mammal and no suspect is developed it is handled very similarly as evidence, except it is im mediately delivered to a charity.
