Ask Your
S T A T E P O L IC

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.
