That actually sounds like the whole thing is a donation to a charitable cause,
the legally taken game (donated), the processing (services/materials donated),
and finally your actual $"donation".  Which would make it non-commercial from
start to finish.  However, I'd expect that if Joe Blotnik went out and whacked
Bambi/Rudolf/Bullwinkle, then put him up for sale at $X.99/lb it might be
viewed a little differently.

Took a quick look and the Lacey Act seems like it "prohibits trade in wildlife,
fish, and plants that have been illegally taken, possessed, transported, or
sold."
Didn't spot anything, quickly, in Goggle about legally taken for commercial
usage, although I suspect that each State will strictly regulate, i.e.
commercial license, or just flat ban it.  Assuming the Federal side,
House/Senate, hasn't already stuck their nose into it.

Since this all seems to relate to whales, sometime in the distant past I'm
guessing.  I'll add that Jim Capaldi did an album named "Whale Meat Again", has
some pretty good songs on it.  Especially his song "Low Rider", as compared to
the song by War which I also have.
