Yesterday I took the family to the local fair. We walked around the livestock barns looking at cows, chickens, horses, sheep, goats and many more animals. I just became more and more irritated the longer we were there. People brought hundreds and hundreds of animals to the one location. Co-mingled them together sharing feed troughs and water units. Rubbing noses, licking on each other and walking through each others droppings. Many had no visible tags at all. Most had nothing more than a generic farm tag bought at the local farm store. And this practice takes place all over the country in thousands of small towns each and every summer.
But God forbid one of our deer isn't barricaded behind a double fence and made to never have contact with a wild deer.
God forbid we don't have a whole herd inspection and shipping papers made out in advance with 2 forms of unique tags and or microchips documented in detail on those papers. And that shipping date better be within the approved window or else.
God forbid despite 5 years, 10 years or 15 years of being CWD monitored, TB Accr, Bruc Cert, that some wild deer is found to have CWD in your county, or even just your state. Because you will be quarantined and eventually shutdown or forced to quit.
Seriously???? How much more of this crap is everyone willing to accept before they stand up and say.... "Screw you! Start using science and common sense or kiss our collective A$$es!"
Not one dime should be spent on anything other than legal battles to end this biased treatment. Until this is done all we are doing is waddling through time until they have completed putting the last one of us out of business.
I know I am not alone in my feelings, just that most are afraid to say it publicly. This industry is dying at a pace faster than ever before.
