I subscribe to a meat CSA where I live, but never knew until I read this story that all meat processed in USDA facilities is sprayed with chemicals. And I'm certainly no animal lover, but to think that the final moments for these animals are spent in some large processing facility they've never spent time in, and they're killed by people they don't know, that just seems wrong.

They've started a crowd funding campaign to pay for their legal fees. I encourage you to contribute, or, and possibly even more importantly, write to their senators.

The senators for Pennsylvania are Bob Casey and Pat Toomey:

There are two gofundme campaigns active, and still receiving donations, though they are both a bit dated:

I process my own meat all the time, but I never get caught. I do wonder what those guys are doing with all those buggy whips, though.

I thought you were being serious. I had great uncles that did farming, but I was banned from ever seeing how the animals were dispatched.

Banish the thought.

My sister processes her own chickens and sells them locally. She has a mobile butcher who slaughters her cattle and lamb as well. I doubt the guy is a USDA approved employee.

We buy raw milk near our countryside property. For whatever reason, farm selling it needs a trillion permits. In my younger days in E Europe, everyone drank raw milk and no one got sick from that, no gubbermint supervision whatever.

Our neighbors (Mexican) do process their own meat but they dont sell to anyone they dont know well.

I've heard if you're small enough, you can fly under the radar. Guessing this guy shipping his meat across the US is what put him on the radar.

I emailed both senators last night, and made a small contribution. Healthy food from local farmers is the cornerstone that sustains a free society.
