Thanks for the heads up. I will now go on a mini buying spree.
The one time we took a sick bird to the vet, the trauma of the car trip and the antibiotic shot in the chest killed her. I think farm vets must often make house calls, in lieu of taking animals to the office. That has to get expensive. Farmers can have a tough time making a living. This just makes it worse. We need those Dutch farmers on tractors. They know how to protest!
The rent-seekers are all about creating monopolies.
Splendid way to fleece and destroy US farmers at home, and meanwhile reap from investments and/or bribe sources in foreign lands, and choking off.
Please leave me alone. Me and my family have been doing this since 1837 in Kansas. I am pretty damn certain I know what I am doing. Only about 1.75 centuries of experience.
The Money & Power Goons gotta show us who’s in control; gotta do their fasciating. They’re superior, donchyaknow.
the article said.... “It would be ridiculous to take a chicken to the vet.”
Now I can’t get this vision of a waiting room full of chickens out of my head.... thanks
I bet Ivermectin becomes regulated so you won’t be able to buy the horse paste. Might be time to stock up again.

“Pitchforks at the ready?”
I think that is the point at which we have arrived (no pun intended).
They are man humans have access to antibiotics at the feed store.
This is about human control, not animals.
There are not enough vets.
This is about eliminating meat.

My thoughts as well. I suspect corporate farm supply stores are already moving it from their shelves. Locally-owned feed stores may be slower to comply.
Farmers are going to have to contact rural representatives and demand that Congress take action.
Bingo.
I grew up on a small ranch with lots of animals. We doctored them daily and rarely went to a vet.
All this will do is create a black market for drugs and cause animals that would have been treated in hours much pain from say an injured leg to easily many hours or even days of pain that they would have otherwise been able to avoid.
This has nothing to do with the animals.
it has to do with humans going around big pharma and using “horse paste” to cure covid.
nope. some paper pusher in DC with 0 minutes of experience clearly knows better.
Just ask um ;)
I can kinda understand this...
"When will Republicans reign in the EPA and FDA."
Regarding reigning in non-popularly elected federal bureaucrats running constitutionally undefined, so-called "federal regulatory agencies," it is probably getting closer to the time when Trump-Supporting Democratic and Republican MAGA patriots will get the opportunity to reign in incumbent Democrats and RINOs during 2024 primaries.
The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same government “leaders” to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.
Regarding state and federal incumbent lawmakers turning their heads to the major constitutional problem of non-popularly elected federal bureaucrats stealing unique state powers to regulate agriculture to oppress farmers, note that the last of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court majority justices of early FDR era had clarified that agriculture is uniquely a state power issue.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. None to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by Congress for that purpose is forbidden [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
I wouldn't be surprised if state sovereignty-respecting justices had first learned that Commerce Clause does NOT give Congress the power to regulate agriculture from the writings of Justice Joseph Story. Story had volunteered agriculture as an example of a power that the Commerce Clause does not give to federal government.
"The question comes to this, whether a power, exclusively for the regulation of commerce, is a power for the regulation of manufactures? The statement of such a question would seem to involve its own answer. Can a power, granted for one purpose, be transferred to another? If it can, where is the limitation in the constitution? Are not commerce and manufactures as distinct, as commerce and agriculture [emphasis added]? If they are, how can a power to regulate one arise from a power to regulate the other? It is true, that commerce and manufactures are, or may be, intimately connected with each other. A regulation of one may injuriously or beneficially affect the other. But that is not the point in controversy. It is, whether congress has a right to regulate that, which is not committed to it, under a power, which is committed to it, simply because there is, or may be an intimate connexion between the powers. If this were admitted, the enumeration of the powers of congress would be wholly unnecessary and nugatory. Agriculture, colonies, capital, machinery, the wages of labour, the profits of stock, the rents of land, the punctual performance of contracts, and the diffusion of knowledge would all be within the scope of the power; for all of them bear an intimate relation to commerce. The result would be, that the powers of congress would embrace the widest extent of legislative functions, to the utter demolition of all constitutional boundaries between the state and national governments [emphases added]." —Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2:§§ 1073--91
John F’in Kerry said the ‘government confiscation of farm land is not off the table.’
