Hey, Mr. Farmer... YOU'RE NOT ALONE!

For the last, oh, I don’t know… forever… ranchers and farmers large and small have taken care of their livestock with antibiotics and antimicrobials that were available at farm stores. These medicines treat common illnesses and infections that people who own large animals and livestock are very familiar with and qualified to treat. They have been trusted to do so for as long as these medicines have been available. The first chicken antibiotics were introduced in 1948. Since then, there has been no call nor reason to regulate these items. Many farmers and ranchers tend to many of their animals’ veterinary needs, which is a part of being a responsible animal handler who needs to keep costs down.
It would be ridiculous to take a chicken to the vet. When chickens are sick, you consult with other chicken owners and go buy the needed items to make them well again. It was a good system.
But NOW, the unelected, unaccountable, faceless, nameless, power-hungry monarchs at the FDA have decided that none of our farmers, ranchers, or hobbyists will be allowed to have those medicines anymore without visiting the vet for a prescription. This will cost the farmers tens of thousands of dollars a year in added vet bills, which they will then pass onto the consumer, forcing prices even higher during a time of record inflation.

Meanwhile, farmers had best stock up on the usual meds and get ready to fight this overreach.
From the article:
“This starts in June of this year. Some have suggested that this is a move to keep people from buying Ivermectin, which has been shown in studies to improve COVID symptoms. It doesn’t matter why they did it; the bigger problem is that no federal agency should be able to institute any sweeping federal mandate without input from the people it affects. This is tyranny.”
The Global War on Farmers has begun. Soon they will call them “Kulaks” and call for their elimination, to get control over all food supplies.
When will Republicans reign in the EPA and FDA. Both should be fully defunded and shuttered.
Well this is it, the USA has gone full netherlands and is trying to absolutely murder the small farmer and rancher
The FDA is starting with chickens and working its way up to horses.
It’s all about human using IVERMECTIN paste
Stupid bastards don’t own animals and don’t understand we love our animals.
Mine all have names.
Even though I may harvest them.
Y’all don’t get it.
Democrats don’t get it.
America’s problem is Democrats.
It is all about control.
Could this really be about people using veterinarian medicines to treat their own ailments?
This country is going down the same path of the Soviet Union or Nazi Germany!
“When will Republicans reign in the EPA and FDA. Both should be fully defunded and shuttered.”
Congress, on both sides of the aisle, have turned their jobs over to unaccountable bureaucrats. They then can shrug their shoulders and say “Nothing we can do”.
Keep voting for the party of the people, dimocRAT.
While we should get rid entirely of the DEA, DHS, and ATF, we possibly should keep something like the F.D.A., but utterly without any power to regulate anything besides labeling.
It is simply none of the government’s business what I, or any livestock under my care, eat, drink, inject or otherwise consume with the only exceptions being obvious things like not driving under the influence or not using truly dangerous substances on animals or plants sold to others as food without letting them know.
“The biden misadministration must have been furious some people found a work-around to his genocide project.”
And do not want the people to have that option for the next “project” they have planned.
Hey, Mr. Farmer... YOU'RE NOT ALONE!
The Global War on Farmers has begun.

The War on Natural Resource Harvesters began back in the 70’s under Tricky Dicky Noxious Nixon.
And of course Congress has no say in such a dictatorial action by Fedzilla, that has such wide ranging consequences...
Pitchforks at the ready?
