"A hunter or a vehicle."

HAMBURG, N.Y. (AP) - Health officials shut down a suburban Buffalo restaurant after an inspector found employees butchering a dead deer inside the business. Erie County Health Department officials said they got a tip Friday about a dead deer in the China King restaurant in the town of Hamburg, just south of Buffalo.

An inspector soon arrived and saw the deer being butchered in the kitchen.

State health laws prohibit butchering an animal inside a restaurant.

Officials don't know whether the deer had been killed by a hunter or a vehicle. They said there was no indication the deer meat was served to any customers.

The message on the restaurant's answering machine Monday says it was closed because of "family emergencies."

Would this sort of thing be legal here in West Virginia?

That's funny. I live in Huntington. The reason I moved to the city* was to get away from the rednecks (most of which are my relatives).

One day last fall, we came home from visiting my redneck relatives only to find my redneck Huntington neighbors "skinnin' uh buk" next door.

I called City Hall and left a message. I am sure they made it their top priority.

*City by West Virginia standards.
