No More Bear Meat in Glory Hole

JUNEAU, AK-June 22, 2005 - A homeless shelter here is looking for donations – as long as there is no bear involved.

The Glory Hole shelter has stopped serving donated bear meat after learning the state prohibits nonprofit groups from accepting wild game meats such as bear, fox and walrus.

"We didn't know that it is illegal," said Jetta Whittaker, executive director of the shelter.

For years, the Glory Hole accepted bear meat to supplement its meals for the homeless. The meat went into many recipes, including burgers, casseroles and spaghetti.

People who shoot animals for fun will sometimes donate the carcasses to charities (including "museums" in somebody's basement and other really :eyes: worthy causes in addition to food lockers and such) and then use the donation as a tax write-off, often at wildly inflated values.

2. Umm...why is the shelter called Glory Hole?
:shrug:

I agree, though...I think that would be a bad place to put bear meat. :scared:
