I donated over 2,000 pounds of processed pork meat to the needy .a church pastor paid $30 a hog to a processor.I just did the field dressing the gut pile was bait for coyotes .and the church controlled its food bank many had a ham for Thanksgiving and Christmas.It is probably be the only animal I would like to hunt and donate the meat to a food kitchen.
Trichinosis, also known as trichinellosis & Brucellosis in pigs, not anthrax if you keep your hands covered and touch the bloody meat with rubber gloves on and cook it well done you will have no problems. even deer have been found with it .We have quite a few feral hogs in our area. A friend of mine said he shot several while deer hunting, but did not try to keep the meat. He was afraid of anthrax. It sounds like if you go prepared, it is safe to keep and process the meat.
