Tip for the day: Don't buy game meat over the internet

If you are selling or buying game meat over the internet, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission wants you to know you are breaking the law.

Investigators with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission are seeing more instances of people buying or selling wild game meat online these days, so they have been cracking down on cyber-violators.
It is illegal to sell or purchase game meat online, people often do so through online advertisements, unknowingly breaking the law.
A popular new pet-diet may be escalating the problem. 
The diet, referred to as the “prey model,” calls for hormone-free, natural meat for dogs.
This leads pet owners to look for wild game meat, often on the Internet.
FWC officials say not only is this a violation, it is also a safety concern for people who purchase wild game meat online for themselves or their pets.
People who purchase the meat don’t know the sanitary conditions in which it was processed.
