(690 posts)22. How is that $1300 worth of meat?
That seems off if we're going by what is in the picture. Looks like a few hundred at most.
That being said, that doesn't look like food meant to just feed themselves because they would have starved otherwise, but rather like grabbing expensive cuts to sell for cash. Not sure if that should be felony, but they do need some sort of punishment. Although, if they are marking up the prices of the meat to have it reach felony level, then that needs to be called out and stopped.
