I’m not going to post the entire article but there is a link at the bottom of my comments.
The state of Michigan (of all the places doing such a wonderful job for their citizens, has passed a law through their Department of Natural Resources, DNR, that they will now kill all pigs they consider feral, their definition. This will include pigs grown on small farms by farmers who let their animals run free. This does not mean they run on a free range. They are fenced in and fed and controlled by the farmers. This is their livelihood and they watch their animals very carefully. They just don’t raise them as big conglomerations do, eating each other’s tails because they have become cannibals in such confined, cramped quarters. So the DNR has issued a warning that these private farmers must kill their own pigs or face a big fine and two years in prison. Then, the government will send people out to shoot these pigs. This law seems to have been instituted by the corporate farm lobby to rid the state of these “nuisance farmers. This is one simple example of the country gone mad. A state that is so deeply in trouble in so many ways still elects politicians who will cater to big business interests, disregarding the people.
The answer to the question posed in your title is yes.
I know. I just wanted to stir people’s emotions not so much to awaken them because I think most people who read NC Renegade are very awake, but to keep reminding everyone that it keeps marching forward at an ever increasing pace. And keep the vigil. By the way, for those who haven’t heard: A true American hero and patriot, Terry Lakin, was released from federal prison.
