Sensible donations for needy

Omaha World-Herald: A bill in the Legislature to allow Nebraska hunters to donate the deer they kill to feed the needy makes good sense from several standpoints.

It gives hunters who don’t want to butcher and keep their kill an outlet, preventing waste. It helps control deer populations.And it can provide much-needed, good-quality protein to nonprofits that feed the hungry, such as Omaha’s Siena-Francis House, and to state prisons and other institutions.

The major hitch is over who should pay to process the meat into usable form and distribute it.
