chaotic_nippleCity workers clean up 44 tons of putrid bison meat after it's left to rot for 2 years
Behind the freezer doors at a meat plant mysteriously abandoned by its owner, the 44 tons of bison meat managed to hold its own for months, masked by the brutal chill of two South Dakota winters.
...
Fed up with the smell, a brave crew of 18 city and county workers took matters into their own hands this summer and stormed the plant to haul away the putrid meat and take back their town. What came next was the biggest indignity: Three months after the cleanup, the owner still hasn't paid the $11,151 cleanup bill, and owes about $14,085 in unpaid property taxes on top of it.
Really, what right has this "city" to tell a Free Man what he can or can't do with his own property? He oughta send them a bill, for trespassing! Or something. (/sarcasm)
