It's still like going to the local Bar and saying here (to the first one sitting inside the door) The keys to a New Hummer. Sure it looks good from the outside, but you still have to come up with all the taxes license's etc. And it cost more than if you hadn't been given this little 'gift'. Trying to make something look good is exactly what the CUT deal is too. Sorry but not enough smoke for these eyes not to see through it. Doesn’t matter.

The buffalo meat was donated, save for a 42 cent per pound processing fee. While the meat isn’t being purchased, processing fees are being paid to someone, so someone is making a little money. But the Montana Food Bank Network should be cleared of all misconceptions regarding any purchase. This organization provides much-needed food to families and individuals. We wanted to share with you their story because we feel it’s important to set the record straight. While we do disagree that the DOL is not making any money off of the slaughter of the buffalo, we do agree that there was unfair reporting that could have caused the Food Banks to receive unnecessary negative publicity.</strong> This is the stance of the Buffalo Field Campaign from our weekly update:

Are you saying you think it is a good thing for Buffalo to be used for the “food banks ?

Don’t you have tons of cattle?
