It gets discussed every year, not a real issue for humans just the yuckie factor, think what you may find in super market meat?

Yes I have seen them ... Not diseased also sometimes green looking kind of like small avocado chunks just pick em out and the meat is just fine ... Won't hurt you to eat em as well shot a few that have had them I was told something to do with wolves and moisture do some research ... Wolf shit that Is

i wouldn't do that.

"Dogs fed infected moose meat may provide suitable conditions for adult tapeworms..." according to that link.
