Umm... this is more or less on the subject (and would be another answer to the OPs question -BTW Sharon, you'll learn with raw, there is seldom only ONE right answer):
What sort of etiquette does one use when inquiring as to how to obtain a store's excess Easter chicks and bunnies after the holiday?
I don't think I'd even mention that they were food.
The best bet would be to make a low-ball offer after the holidays. Let them know that you'll take most off their hands.
There are always bunnies in the "give away" section of the classifieds. Sometimes goats.

I have better luck finding "parts" in ethnic grocery stores.
The smaller, mom-and-pop stores in Asian, Latino, or African-American neighborhoods generally have a much better selection of cheaper cuts of meat than the larger chain grocery stores that cater to more mainstream customers.
I get most of the food for my dogs at an urban store that regularly stocks things like 10-pound "family packs" of chicken gizzards and duck necks. The Chinese grocery stocks 20-pound cases of fresh-frozen sardines, and pork parts that would be unmentionable in most stores. Any day of the week you can buy pork tongue, kidney, and heart...as well as some that I haven't mustered the courage to bring home, including pork uterus, congealed pork blood, and something labeled "pork bung."
Has anyone got anything from ethnic restaurants with meat thier that goes bad? Presuming that they throw out of date meat away...
We don't have very many (if any) ethnic grocery stores, so the restaurants would be the next best thing.
Don't know about ethnic restaurants/grocery stores in particular.
There was a lady/woman/girl here from Germany, I think, that was suppose to get the raw leftovers from a fried chicken restaurant. Haven't heard how she did with that find, though.
One of the grocery stores near me will let me have stuff that expires. Not sure if they are suppose to. I just asked, all they can say is no. Do let them know what you are using it for and that humans will under no circumstances be consuming any of it.
E.T.A. Be sure to pick up a nice, big, expensive steak for yourself, too.
