At V & V Tack and Feed in Las Vegas, store associates like Shelly Smith are asking customers who are interested in purchasing the drug to show a photograph of the horse they own...

Two things pop in to mind. We use ivermectin on our homestead, and we don't have any horses. What business is it of the feed store what kind of animals we have? Secondly, what business is it of the feed store what people use the ivermectin for? Sounds to me like a bit of true fascism by the feed store going on here. This type of behavior by businesses has made it harder and more expensive for us to get what we need to maintain the health of our animals.

Kind of scary that people don't have a problem with businesses behaving in this manner; especially people here on FR.

So you are saying private business shouldn’t have a right to decide for themselves how to operate their businesses?

Who’s the facist now?

We’ve got meat goats but you won’t find a tube of Ivermectin with a picture of a goat on the package. I buy the horse Ivermectin or Fenbendazole because it’s cheaper than a tube for the next closest in weight animal, dogs. Bigger package, better deal as is typical.

In this sue happy culture you can’t trust that people who misapply your product won’t sue. Sure you’ll probably win, eventually, if you don’t go bankrupt first. Then of course there’s the problem of what the government will do if you become known as a store that sells animals meds people are using. There’s simply no upside to this for them.
