LOL.
Reallly?? This is the state that keeps the brain-dead Harry Reid in office term after term. Is there any free state left in our UNION?
Well, now that you mention it... considering that during my 6 tours in Korea, I’ve had dog at the local restaurant...
:-P
(I didn’t worry about whose dog it was.)
Ya know, as soon as I saw the stuff about pure organic farming I began to wonder if this was a cat fight between lefties. Now the wonder is turning into something more like certitude. What a wasteful shame of course (even lefties need to eat) but maybe they’ll get a lesson in (figurative) karma?
Still, this was about pet bunnies, not food farmed ones? It sounds like excess.

Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
The trick was to get them to pull the permit which undoubtedly gave carte blanche permission to the thugs to come onto the property without further notice. We’d visit you on weekends, though.
You are probably thinking of the land owning peasants called "Kulaks" in the Ukraine. It's doubtful any of them were busted for running a commercial operation organic farm catering to what are probably a bunch of greener-than-thou Liberals. All their food, including what they needed to feed themselves and their families, was confiscated and any who resisted were summarily killed or sent to Siberia to die. Those who did not resist simply starved to death. The Soviets gave quotas to the forces sent of the tonnage of food to be confiscated and numbers of Kulaks to be liquidated and detailed records were kept. They murdered millions.
No, Stalin took the food (for the public good) and let the farmers starve (in the Ukraine).
The place checks out--it has a web site and is apparently located near Logandale, Nevada. However, no such event appears on the site's calendar over the past few months, so it must not have been recent. I noticed that the site emphasizes that future events of this sort are private.
If I were the owner, I would find a good junkyard-dog tort lawyer--there should be plenty of them in Las Vegas--and go after those busybody munchkins.
I appreciate those who dug up the date and location of the incident. Shouldn’t the author have included these details in the article? Has anyone been able to determine who the author of this article is? When you post an emotional article, the least you should do is attach your name to it if you don’t want it classified as SPAM.
Whenever I see “Comments are closed.” I get suspicious as to why the article is still up on the website. By closing the comments you are no longer under obligation to reply to the readers. OK, that’s fine with me, but why in the hell did you write the article if you don’t want to answer the questions of the readers?
These people are professional heart wrenchers. Top level marketers, IMO. Fertilizer spreaders. I am not saying this is incident is falsified manure, just the manner in which it was presented.
/bingo
Of course, with cameras being everywhere, every move, every word she said, should have been recorded, because inspectors frequently talk out of their ass. A crazy otherwise-unemployable asshole who used to inspect food service businesses over where I grew up used to go completely haywire once every couple of years; all it took was a hearing, after a little bit of research, to show that all or most of his references to the codes were inappropriate, incoherent, or just head-up-the-ass stupid.
WADR, and I hate to sound callous and cruel, but these people strike me as a bunch of tofu sucking, sprout munching pantywaists, every one of whom, to a man, or woman, voted unanimously for Zero, swooning over the concept of “Hope and Change.”
We-e-e-e-el, they GOT Zero, and his brand of H & C, and a tidal wave of jackbooted bureaucrats to take over their lives. So now they ruined your garden party and destroyed your food, did they? To quote a line from the song “Bloody Mary” in the film SOUTH PACIFIC, “Now ain’t that too damn bad?!”
It's written in first person, so one can conclude it is either Monte or Laura Bledsoe. -- I am not saying this is incident is falsified manure, just the manner in which it was presented. --
The story has been presented in more than one venue. Not to defend "A Distinctive Style Magazine," but the only "beg" I read in the article is to sign a petition.

Farm-to-table event turns sour when health inspector crashes party (read the comments)
Here's another, by the Bledsoes. Perhaps it meets your standards: Straight From the Farmers' Heart at Quail Hollow.
The health department here has earned more than the amount of ridicule it is getting.
Perhaps the time has come to start microwaving bureaucrats...
Then they, would for sure, be OK for consumption.
January edition of the Limbaugh Letter has an article about Quail Hollow Farm fighting Big Farm Government Entitled: No Picnic
She shoulda talked to a chemist. Sodium hypochlorite is unstable on exposure to sunlight and to air. Just leave the veggies in the sun for a day or so, and they'd be perfectly safe to compost. Or just rinse'em off with a hose.
But this most definitely was a case of an out-of-control bureaucrat responding to the pulls of "somebody's" strings.
This time it wasn't federal food enforcers. It was one of the local jackboots.
