Farmer working hard to get food on supermarket shelves during coronavirus pandemic is abused by vegans;
Gareth Wyn Jones – who runs a 2,000 acre farm with vegetables and livestock – has been compared to the Nazis and slave owners on social media.
The dad-of-three has been called an ‘a**e’, a ‘t**t’ and a ‘b*****d’ for his posts about farming.
And he explained some of his fellow farmers have even had death threats.
You can follow him on Twitter, if you’re so inclined.
I can't stop thinking about this story. A pig was wearing a pedometer to prove it was free range. It ate it, shitted it out, it caught fire which spread in the dry hay and the blaze covered 75 square metres. https://t.co/yzLfA9zRBE

*Stolen. Expect to see it again.
It was the best I could come up with.
Vegan @BernieSanders supporters rushed the stage at campaign rally in Nevada, stole the mic, stripped down, and poured red "milk" all over themselves.

Most livestock producers keep a low profile when they suffer livestock losses attributed to wolves. By policy, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife shields their names from the public. In the past, producers who have either received authorization to shoot wolves or had Fish and Wildlife agents do it for them have received threats.
We’re a progressive society now, and these so-called “wildlife centers” (however well meaning) are exploiting sick and injured wildlife for human enjoyment and even profit. Yes change is hard, but these animals are best left to their natural fate in the wild and the centers shut down.

When will our western provincial governments wake up?
What could possibly go wrong?
A growing number of livestock veterinarians are raising concerns that dogs rescued from Chinese meat markets could bring African swine fever virus to the United States.
Rescue groups regularly save dogs from slaughter in China and transport them to this country to be adopted as pets. But because such dogs are considered food animals in China, they often are kept in close quarters with other livestock. [..]
“These dogs are rescued from meat markets,” said Lisa Becton, director of swine health information and research at the National Pork Board. “And, unfortunately, at these markets there are a lot of other species, like pigs, chickens and cows. There is a risk that the animal, the crate or the bedding could become contaminated.”
The “retail rescue” fraud is importing tens of thousands of dogs into North America each year for both resale and donation drives — along with a growing number of foreign disease variants and parasites.
The Cleveland Heights woman accused of stabbing another woman for wearing a fur coat was once arrested for trying to solicit a hitman through Facebook to kill fur wearers. She is now in custody on a charge of attempted murder.
“I’m a happy boy. I love being petted and love attention.”
That’s what Carlin Kinlow saw when she adopted Bubba earlier this year. But when she got him home, Bubba didn’t act like a happy boy. Instead, he attacked her roommate.
[…] CBS2 [Los Angeles] obtained internal records which show 32 dogs with bite histories at the shelter. Twenty-three had no warnings or any information about biting previous owners on their kennel cards.
Kaviani said by leaving information off of the card, it is not masking the dog’s behavior. He says it is their policy is to tell people before they adopt.
“When you’re dating, on the first date do you say all the things that you’re really trying to work on as a human being? No, you’re not airing that on the first date. Are you lying about that? Absolutely not,” said Kaviani.
Madeline Bernstein, president of the spcaLA said that people have to be told.
“Whether you bite a shelter personnel member or you bite a volunteer, or the dog has been returned for a bite, that information must be told to potential adopters,” she said.
CBS2 also found the shelter drugged dozens of dogs.
It’s not just California anymore;
More than a dozen people affiliated with an animal rights group have been arrested in a protest against sled dog kennels, months after the same organization’s occupation of a turkey barn prompted the Alberta government to promise a crackdown on rural trespassers.
RCMP say they were called to the Mad Dogs and Englishmen kennels east of Canmore, Alta., on Saturday morning when approximately 30 protesters allegedly broke into the kennels to protest the treatment of the dogs.
Police say 15 people, including one young person, were arrested and face charges of break and enter to commit mischief.
Left on Left: A class action lawsuit alleges that Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is made from dairy not sourced from “happy cows” as advertised, but with milk from factory farms.
WASHINGTON (Oct. 28, 2019) – The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) today applauded the bipartisan introduction of the Real MEAT (Marketing Edible Artificials Truthfully) Act of 2019 by U.S. Reps. Roger Marshall (R – 1st Dist., Kansas) and Anthony Brindisi (D – 21st Dist., N.Y.)
“A growing number of fake meat products are clearly trying to mislead consumers about what they’re trying to get them to buy,” said NCBA President and Tennessee cattlewoman Jennifer Houston. “Consumers need to be protected from deceptive marketing practices, and cattle producers need to be able to compete on a fair, level playing field. We want to thank Congressmen Brindisi and Marshall for leading the way on this very important issue.”
While our western provincial governments remain asleep at the wheel, as the same agents destroying our energy industry pivot to agriculture. And just as they did with the energy industry, they’ll wake up a decade too late, and wonder what just hit them.
The Ontario government will consider all options including new legislation to shield farmers from animal rights activists, the province’s agriculture ministry said Friday.
The assurances from Minister Ernie Hardeman’s office come as livestock producers press for action to prosecute those who trespass on their properties and aggressively protest at processing plants.
Ministry spokesperson Avi Yufest said the government shares the producers’ concerns following a number of high-profile protests in the past year.
Dear Sask Roughriders, don’t you want me as a fan anymore??
