John, I agree with you. As a near life long Alaskan, (not dead yet), and he who has lived in the bush, have something to ask.

A friend of mine, who is also a musher, just received like 400## of freezer burned fish. I am absolutely tickled for him, that's a lot of dog food. It is not going to waste. No question however, someone wasted it.

But, most of it was Chitina fish, that had been caught, cleaned processed and seal a mealed. Now whoever caught these obviously decided to catch more, and guess it was time for the freezer cleaning.

Some of this fish was only 2 years old.
As a 'dumpster diver" I see this often, boxes of meat and fish left out for the same reason just need to make room..
This is also wonton waste, so you didn't leave it in the woods to go bad, or, 'share' with the animals. How dare anyone call themselves an Alaskan and do this.

That fish was once edible, and certainly could have been shared with others LONG before it was left to turn to dog food.
