A hunter friend gave me about 20lbs of Bear that he has had in his freezer that is a bit freezer burnt.
How is Bear? I've given Sasha Deer, Moose, Caribou and all the domestic stuff i.e. Beef, Mutton, Turkey, Pork, Chicken.
Bear is a lot like Pork I understand right? Meaning it can carry parasites right? Though being frozen long enough to be partially freezer burnt would kill them right?

Obviously all meat can carry *something*. Bear and pork can carry trichinella parasite, though. Here is a little info on it. Trichinella
Before anyone swears off grocery store pork, trichinella is VERY rare in commercial pork. It has been some time since trichinella was a problem in U.S. farm raised pork.
Wild pork....I don't know. One should check with their local game and fish for its prevalence and go from there.
Back to the original question.....I personally don't feed meat eaters to my meat eater for that reason. I just figure that increases any risk of parasites or other "bugs" like trichinella.
But then again I think of pork/wild pork differently, but apparently they sometime eat meat to.

Yes, bear meat has become the most common cause of trichinosis by far in this country, way more so than pork.
Per the Mayo Clinic via CNN.com: Have wild-animal meat frozen or irradiated. Trichinosis can occur in any meat-eating mammal. Irradiation will kill parasites in wild-animal meat, and deep-freezing for several days kills trichinella in some meats. However, trichinella in bear meat does not die by freezing, even over a long period.
