Obama EPA Illegally Hands Over Info on Livestock Producers to Extremist Animal Rights Groups
Gateway Pundit ^ | March 23, 2013 | Jim Hoft

When the Obama EPA is not spying on cattle and pork ranches with drones, they’re illegally releasing information on livestock producers to far left extremist groups.

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and the National Pork Producers are furious after the Obama Environmental Protection Agency illegally gave information on livestock farmers to extremist animal rights groups.

Farm Futures reported:

NCBA and the National Pork Producers Council are both furious with EPA for handing extremist groups illegally gathered data on farmers who operate confined animal feeding operations.

NCBA said early this week it was notified by the EPA that the agency had been collecting information from states on CAFOs. The information was requested by extremist groups, including Earth Justice, the Pew Charitable Trust and the Natural Resources Defense Council through a Freedom of Information Act request and was given to them.

The information released by EPA covers livestock operations in more than 30 states, including many family farmers who feed less than 1,000 head and are not subject to regulation under the Clean Water Act.

“When we reviewed the information submitted by the states and released by EPA, we were alarmed at the detail of the information provided on hard working family farmers and ranchers, family operations including my own,” said NCBA past president J.D. Alexander, a cattle feeder from Pilger, Nebraska.

“It is beyond comprehension to me that with threats to my family from harassment atop bio-security concerns, that EPA would gather this information only to release it to these groups. This information details my family’s home address and geographic coordinates. The only thing it doesn’t do is chauffeur these extremists to my house. For some operations, even telephone numbers and deceased relatives are listed.”(continued)

There are NO laws when it comes to people that support liberal agendas. There is NO America as it has been for 250 yrs.

I consider environmental extremists to be the biggest single threat mankind faces. These guys potentially have the motivation and knowledge to create and spread a killer microbe that could decimate the human race. Even Islamists with WMDs have no desire to wipe out everyone. But to the radical enviros, it would be a reasonable and acceptable way to treat Mother Earths cancer.

When your goal is to destroy the country you hate it is beneficial to pit as many groups against each other as possible and even to pour fuel on the resulting fire.

The NAPA in the White Hut is not satisfied with just pitting class, race, wealth, illegals/legals, religions against one another. The more you can fracture the country the close you come to destroying it.

Make no mistake, this piece of crap in the White Hut and his wookie ugly as sin wife, hate this country with a passion and want to bring us down and we are letting them get away with it.

Ya. Your customers will be wondering why the pork chops tasted extra sweet. Most vegans are kind of bony so maybe that would taint the meat. ;)

First we had the DOJ and ATF complicit with aiding narcoterrorists. Now we have the EPA potentially complicit in aiding ecoterrorists.

our ELECTED officials are out of freakign control- they are blatantly violating our laws and ethics, and when they get caught, what do they do? Yup- the nominate the criminals to top positiosn within the whitehosue- They are flaunting their criminal activities and darign anyoen to do anythign about it (which of course the GOP won’t do, and so theswe criminals KNOW they can flaunt any law they liek, shove hteir criminal activities in our faces, and get away with it)

I have sat completely flabberghasted these last few days watchign one unbeleivable criminal act after antioehr surface, and watchign the arrogant “Go to hell” attitude of the left as they get cauight-
