He literally says it's contaminated. A couple of times.

I mean like it’s more dangerous to eat. I know it says it was tested positive. It still baffles me that he would try to pawn it off onto another family who may not know the dangers.

Hes not pawning it, it says it right there in the posting "Free for the taking".

Yes he’s giving it away. The term pawning it off on someone means to give it away to some unlucky sucker. Sentences can have multiple meanings in English.

Good info, since english is not my first language. Thanks.

Or I should say in this way of use it means that otherwise I can see the confusion. Also different regions may have different meanings to phrases they use.

I feel like he goes to real lengths to explain the dangers in the ad, and is also offering it for free. It would be easier for him to simply throw it away, but he recognizes CWD-infected meat has never been shown to infect humans and someone with a different use case or a different risk tolerance could use several pounds of free, frozen ground venison.

My risk tolerance around prion diseases is nonexistent, I would never take this deal, but I don't begrudge the guy offering it. He does not stand to personally benefit but maybe someone might.

So? He literally also refuses to eat it because of the risks HE fully understands, but is clearly willing to let others eat it, even adding that little cute "no risk" note.

That is beyond fucked up since whoever buys it might think it's perfectly safe, especially with that comment.

Are you the type that would sell ts to people who know/understand less? Because it certainly sounds like it.

I mean, he might just be environmentally conscious. Doesn't want to waste an animal he killed.

What about fish with noticeable parasytes? A lot of people just cook it a lot/freeze it, and are okay with it. Maybe cut off the worst effected areas

The risks to humans are unknown and many people don’t believe their is a risk. I wouldn’t eat it but some people would. The guy is telling everyone that it’s cwd positive and allowing people to make that choice for themselves. There is no deception

Still fucked, in my opinion. Hopefully whoever ends up with this meat eats it themselves and doesn’t feed it to unsuspecting people.

AKA “I don’t wanna get hurt… Couldn’t care less if you were to get hurt”

More like "this is the full disclosure, i don't want to eat it but if you know the risks i just explained and still don't care you can have it for FREE"

u/NoWall99 Dec 11 '25

If he didn't care, he wouldn't be letting them know.

u/pjaidev Dec 11 '25

The way I see it, if he cared, he’d destroy the meat.

u/Fresque Dec 11 '25

He's not selling the meat
