Porky Flies and Porky Pies: Slaughtering natural breeds to make way for GMO pigs
 |
'Recently followers of Food Freedom or FarmWars or PPJ would have read of the insane and Unexplained rush to eradicate a whole lot of Old Breed and Heritage Pigs in certain AmeriKKan states by the USDA swat teams.
No sane explanations given as to why the sudden rush to remove everything they can that isn’t in a CAFO and an inbred weak pink piggy.
The sheer insanity of culling what are precious rare breeds with hugely valuable gene pools, and yeah, okay, some mongrel crosses, but owned and constrained and cared for none the less. But this campaign seemed ONLY to be targeting well cared for owned and small farmed breeders.'

Utah Bill: Videotaping a Factory Farm is Same as Assaulting a Police Officer
'Utah is the latest state to consider new laws targeting undercover investigators who expose animal welfare abuses on factory farms. A new bill would make photographing animal abuse on par with assaulting a police officer.
Rep. John Mathis calls undercover investigators "animal rights terrorists," and says video recordings that have brought national attention to systemic animal welfare abuses are "propaganda" and fundraising efforts.
The bill, HB187, targets anyone who videotapes or takes photograph on a farmer's property without permission. It creates the crime of "agricultural operation interference," a class A misdemeanor which is elevated to a third-degree felony on the second offense. It comes at at time when the FBI has considered "terrorism" charges against undercover investigators.'

America's farmlands to be carpet-bombed with Vietnam-era Agent Orange chemical if Dow petition approved
'A key chemical of one of the most horrifying elements of the Vietnam War -- Agent Orange -- may soon be unleashed on America's farmlands. Considered by world nations to be a "Weapon of Mass Destruction" (WMD), Agent Orange was dropped in the millions of gallons on civilian populations during the Vietnam War in order to destroy foliage and poison North Vietnamese soldiers. The former president of the Vietnamese Red Cross, Professor Nhan, described it as, "...a massive violation of human rights of the civilian population, and a weapon of mass destruction."'

Independence Criminalized: The Great Wall of Bureaucracy Comes to America
'The purge of the farming class in various Communist dictatorships is well documented. The regimes in China (1958-62) and Russia into the Ukraine (1920-39), identified those who were independent of state control, and implemented a heavy-handed oppression designed to turn true productivity toward collectivist goals. These regimes are but a version of what is being proposed in modern America.'

Five Million Pounds of Meat Can’t Be Wrong, or Can It?
Just say, NO!
'The truly shocking thing about the latest and exceptionally massive recall involving Huntington Meat Packing Inc. out of California (read the details here) is not the fact that more than five million pounds of beef and veal were recalled, nor is it that “the company made the products under unsanitary conditions failing to take the steps it had determined were necessary to produce safe products,” and it is not even the mere fact that the recall involves immeasurable amounts of potentially tainted and/or compromised meat that was sold over the last 12 months and has likely been consumed ages ago. No, the truly shocking aspect of all of this is that within a week, this seeming act of gross negligence will be all but forgotten.'
