Hillman Says: Ignore Americans

News — walterj 4:25 pm

This all too clearly shows the piss poor attitude of our nation’s bureaucrats. Fascism is alive and well in America:

“It is time to stop listening to the many nay-sayers and NO-NAIS activists who either ignored or refused the opportunity to participate in the development of NAIS.”
Bob Hillman, DVM
Executive Director Texas Animal Health Commission
NAIS comment #APHIS-2009-0027-0589 on page 63

FDA Bans Wildlife

News — walterj 12:01 pm

Now that the FDA is getting its claws into farms they want to ban livestock and wildlife from land where crops are grown as per these documents [1, 2, 3]. I had read that the government was pushing for sterile, burnt earth farming and kill zones but it is amazing to actually see them put it in writing.

Sample quote:

Training harvest employees to recognize and report for appropriate action any evidence of wildlife activity
-FDA Guidance for Leafy Greens

Their guidelines are impossible to meet in a non-industrial agricultural setting. This eliminates all organic farms, certified naturally grown and gardening. It is not clear if the government’s goal is to kill off small farms or wildlife, or perhaps they intend to do both from their air conditioned urban offices.

“Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you’re a thousand miles from the cornfield.” -Dwight D. Eisenhower
