We were able to raise one pig by ourselves about ten years ago. It was exempted at the time although it did have a government tattoo. We heard that would change too. We had unregistered chickens, though.

It is very deliberate and that is not tinfoil hat. Go to France and see for yourselves. Perhaps any FRiends in France today can update and amplify
