ROFL!!! The manager just told me in a follow-up call that it was for both ag exemption reasons and some people are using them for “dog food” (an obvious lie). Who in their right mind would pay that kind of cost to feed them to dogs??? The Feds have to be forcing them, and probably others, to record WHO is buying chickens. This is nuts. Say something folks. Go to your local Tractor Supply and give ‘em hell. The person I know told them off, said feeding them to dogs was stupid, put the chicks back and marched out.
I don’t see them as dog food but reptile food, yes. I knew a guy in High Skrool that used to patronize the “free kittens” signs on telephone poles when it was time to feed his python.
TS is probably lying and it’s just a ruse to get your address into their system. Because you could get fertilized eggs from your neighbor and throw them in the incubator.
The gov. probably already know who has chickens. Just from purchase history. They could probably have AI analyze google erf images to find coops if they wanted to. Shoot, they can already automatically find faces and license plates then obscure them.
Not to say your concern is not valid. Governments have sought to control the food supply throughout history. I just think there are easier ways to do it than have TS keep track.
With all these biolabs, God only knows what they are working up. A chicken flu? Reasonable. A dog flu? Sure, the soviets killed dogs when they took over. And of course people flus. Swine flus, bovine flus... there is a lot you could cook up if you had a whole bunch of bio labs.
Who cares if they are for dogs to eat? Snakes need to eat, too.
We don’t care if mice die or are eaten alive.
Global warming war on nitrogen. If they are going to force the hoi polio to eat meal worms they need to make sure they cannot raise chickens or eggs. Also I am guessing they are planning to push the price of chicken and eggs sky high to reduce chicken poop and the nitrogen it produces. Our masters despise us.
