And so the ongoing war against family farms continues. The NWO elite do not like family farms because they sell wholesome food which is contrary to their depopulation agenda and control by food agenda. It allows the serfs too much freedom to thumb their nose at their "betters".Subscribe to *Agriculture-Environment*

Hmmm? Perhaps the pigs and their "felon" owners died of Fukushima radiation poisoning while eating Corexit poisoned Gulf Coast shrimp. Yeah, I bet that's the answer.

Exaggerated.

LANSING, MI -- Allegations made on a website have called into question the tactics of Michigan Department of Natural Resources personnel in their enforcement of the Invasive Species Order in Michigan.

NaturalNews.com editor Mike Adams contends the DNR "has, in total violation of the Fourth Amendment, conducted two armed raids on pig farmers in that state, one in Kalkaska County at Fife Lake and another in Cheboygan County.

"Staging raids involving six vehicles and ten armed men, DNR conducted unconstitutional, illegal and arguably criminal armed raids on these two farms with the intent of shooting all the farmers' pigs. ..."

The Invasive Species Order, or ISO, was issued in December 2010 and went into effect on April 1, 2012, and states that possessing live species of wild boar, wild hog, wild swine, feral pig, feral hog, feral swine, Old world swine, razorback, Eurasian wild boar and Russian wild boar are prohibited.

Alongside the article at NaturalNews.com is a photo of a group of four pigs with what appear to be members of a helmeted team creeping around behind them. The photo is credited to the website.

DNR public information officer Ed Golder said allegations of conservation officers being involved in "armed raids on pig farmers" are just not true.

"There was one instance where the (conservation officers) asked to inspect a site on April 1. The owner denied access to the officers and told them to get a warrant," Golder said. "The officers returned on April 13 with an administrative inspection warrant."

Golder said the administrative inspection warrant isn't a criminal warrant, it just allows the officers to inspect the premises in a reasonable manner.

The DNR website says conservation officers are "fully commissioned as state peace officers with full power and authority to enforce Michigan's criminal laws." And, yes, they can carry guns.

The conservation officers found no invasive feral swine at the location, dead or alive, Golder said, and he disputes the notion that officers shot or forced anyone to shoot their swine.

"The DNR has not fired one shot or killed one pig while enforcing this order," Golder said.

Golder said the DNR worked with many farmers and ranchers in the months leading up to the April deadline to help them find out-of-state buyers for their feral swine.

He said 15 months was plenty of time for farmers and hunting ranches to come into compliance with the law.

"Enforcement thus far has gone very well," Golder said. "Almost all the places we've visited are in compliance and have been very cooperative."

The DNR decided to act on the swine, a non-native animal to Michigan, after seeing a rise in their numbers. The DNR says that by the end of 2011, more than 340 feral swine had been spotted in 72 of Michigan's 83 counties, and 286 have been reported killed.

A feral swine sow can have two litters a year of 4-6 piglets. Based on their breeding practices, the DNR estimates that feral swine currently could number between 1,000 and 3,000 in Michigan.

"The whole rationale is that these are invasive species, just like Asian carp." Golder said. "This is an Asian carp with legs and they pose a threat to Michigan's natural resources."

Golder said the swine are known to be carriers of pseudo-rabies, which is often fatal if transmitted to other wild and domestic animals. That raises serious concerns for the state's farmers and livestock owners.

"It's mostly a risk of disease to livestock but these animals are very aggressive," Golder said.

The DNR website describes feral swine as "dangerous when cornered or threatened. They can become aggressive and charge and attack humans. They move with great speed and can cause serious injuries with their tusks."

"In addition we're concerned about the damage they'll do to game birds, fawns and other smaller animals," Golder said. "They also tear up farm fields and crops."

N.B. There actually is a desire to eradicate family farms on the part of the feds though, as evidenced by the recent attempt to outlaw work by farm kids.

I'd call it a lie.

But, just for the sake of argument, we'll call it exaggeration.

Why exaggerate? What purpose does it serve? Who does it serve?

Point these things out as the "story" is unfolding however, and the True Believers shake their tiny little fists and call you an "agent" etc. On one hand, it's amusing, On the other hand, it's frustrating.

Some good points...

Not much to tell you on Texas. I got ahold of the director of Wildlife Management for the state, and he’s actually gone to DNR in Michigan to consult on feral pigs. Feral pigs are an issue for the environment, unquestionably. I just don’t understand how they link that to small farmers and pastured animals. It’s the fear that they will escape. Or mingle with other wildlife and pick up disease.

So I asked, do you think pigs should be on pasture at all? And he replied “Hey, the state of Texas won’t let me keep tigers. I might be a very conscientious tiger farmer, but the threat to the public is too great, so I don’t get to farm tigers.” [eh?]

...

Let me get this right, the legislature passed a law dealing with pigs in the woods, but the DNR says it won’t work because YOU, the citizens, WILL GO CRAZY and exacerbate rather than fix the problem. Also, they know of no workable plan other than killing all of one breed of pigs behind secure fences that will solve the problem of pigs in the woods. We can’t effectively trap them (after all, of the 1000′s out there, they’ve only trapped dozens), we can’t aerial shoot them, we can’t let the citizens who hunt know where they are, all we can do is learn to live with the nightmare. THIS IS THE MDNR’S VIEW OF YOU, THE CITIZENS AND THE LEGISLATORS.

I also need to point out that Commissioner Coe raises Mangalitsa pigs on his Blackstar Farms. The Mangalitsa is the only breed given a written exemption, even though they have striped babies which means they meet at least 7 of the 9 characteristics that describe a feral hog. Hmmm…

Feral pigs are a real problem; the state's agents probably aren't in fact very aggressive, physically; but I think it's doubtful the law actually addresses the problem and it wouldn't surprise me if big agribusiness had a hand in this.
