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.
