Mmmmmm ... sausage

Well, uhm, yuck. Last week, Jack McClanahan was smacked with a $10,000 fine and three years probation. Seems that the good Mr. McClanahan was getting poached animals and using them to make "black market sausage." This sausage was made in his dirty garage and, as a result, much of it was tainted (for example, bullets had been caught in the grinder, meaning McClanahan was shaving lead into his sausage every time he ground up new meat). McClanahan got busted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services after an 18-month sting operation in Iowa and Nebraska (which also roped up 30 poachers).

Happily, however, the court has allowed the former butcher to continue making sausage for his own family. So all is still right with the world.
