“How do you know these ranchers were not repeat offenders”

These pigs are there livestock and therefor their legal property and they are being deprived of their property without due process. The DNR is not above the constitution.
If they can prove the rancher had purposefully let pigs escape he should be liable for damages but to arbitrarily destroy peoples property is a discusting over reach of the law.

FDA “stings” FUCK THIS!!! The govt. is so out of hand it’s ridiculous. Illegal hogs and milk??? Who the fuck are they to dictate that crap. This is why the Constitution is so important, to LIMIT govt. to what it is allowed to do. States have constitutions too which outline what they can and can’t do. Govt. was never meant to be this intrusive. If the founders were alive today you can bet there would be revolution. We are tolerating far more than they we subjected to by England. This must end.

If there have been armed SWAT style raids of small family farms in the past month, and baby pigs being slaughtered in cold blood, I want to see photos and videos….. What? a whole month of raids has gone by and nobody thought to grab a camera????

wow. . . .and to think i was considering putting in a few pigs. . . we raise our own animals because that way i know whats going in to them! Hogs are a cost efficient farm animal and in these times it would make it easier on the pocketbook than raising beef. But after this I will stick with my cows and keep an eye out for the DNR!

“Americans need to quit whining about how the Federal Government is encroaching upon our rights. ”

Yeah, we should just shut up and take it in the ass like good serfs.

By the way, I never voluntarily agreed to anything.

Americans need to quit whining about how the Federal Government is encroaching upon our rights. This is nothing new, George Washington warned us that the United States will attempt to encroach beyond its ten square miles.
Today nearly every American has voluntarily given up constitutionally protected rights in exchange for government benefits, the Government does not have jurisdiction unless you consent, outside of WA DC. (CA Commercial Code Section 9307h). It is not convergent to give up those government benefits (I know, I got rid of my driver’s license, and corrected all documents that give the Federal Govt jurisdiction – in today’s world this in inconvenient). I bet the farmer in this video has a driver’s license, hasn’t looked up the definition or jurisdiction of the State of Michigan, and has signed many documents that give the Federal Government (State of Michigan is an administrative body of the Federal Government – see CIA World Fact Book “United States” system of government). I have traveled freely without a license, crossed the border from Mexico to the US and much more since Feb of 2010 (that is when I rescinded my signature on my driver license application for political reasons, the farmer in the video could do the same thing). It is going to many Americans disengaging with the Federal Government, it is simple but inconvenient (It can be done, but banking without State ID is not as easy as just showing a driver’s license). A great place to learn about the difference between having state citizenship and being a Federal citizen is to visit and read everything at http://www.state-citizen.org and http://www.section520.org
