We have 4 freezers full of meat thats been frozen for a few days. I was just wondering if our house gets raided for any reason, will they be able to find out who it came from?

Yes, scientists can use DNA analysis trace where meat came from. It is used in Japanese markets to make sure that the whale meat being sold is from legal species--it is a common practice there to poach illegal whales and sell the meat at market.

Yo Bill
Scientists can not only tell what animal (?) this meat came from -- they, with hardly any effort at all, can in very short order dang near tell you what part of the world it came from-- what it's favorite food was-- and in some circumstances what its last known address was !!
I might point out that due to the nature of this question-- the black SUV driving up in your drive will probably have some really good specialists in this field that probably will be able to answer all these questions for you---even though they probably will be the people Asking the questions (oh, and with these people ---You don't get points) !!!

Yes they will. What type of meat is it? that's a very curious question.
