Going Postal: 44 tons of rotting bison, a drag-racing hearse and a kidney donor goes rogue

South Dakota town clears out rotting bison meat...finally

They got rid of all 44 tons of the rank stuff after a meat plant went bust last year. The meat has been stinking ever since the electricity to the plant's freezers was cit/ From the AP:

"Once the power was cut and spring thaw arrived, nature took over. And enough rotting meat to fill a high school gym did exactly what you'd expect: It stank."

Oh, but it gets better:

"It stank at the bank. It smelled at the law office. It reeked at the cafe. Even the jewelry store wasn't immune. Everyone in this tiny town could smell it, everywhere they went. A putrid odor so downright nasty the cleaners sent to mop up the gooey mess of liquefied meat — topped by a blanket of swarming white maggots and buzzed by a legion of flies — gave up after two days.

i've hauled many, many buffalo to that place. the bank, bar, cafe is straight across the street from the plant. not a big town to begin with, so i'm sure you could smell it from all four corners.

Why didn't they turn the power back on and freeze the stinking mess?

sounds to simple..... :roll:
i heard on the news Bridgewater wants $11,000 from the owner for the clean up and i think they said $17,000 in unpaid taxes. i suppose they didn't want to get stuck with the electricity bill too. although, i would think that would have been a bit under what it costed them to clean it up. :???: :? :wink:
