It does’t stop farmers from euthanizing animals and then not getting to the processing plant.

Maybe there are Freepers who are farmers who can explain it better than me...

But wouldn’t they stop euthanizing if there were places to sell the animals to again?

But then there’s supermarkets rationing when there is no need because there were TONS of chicken and meat in the store the other day.

This whole virus plan is A BIG FusterCluck!! :)

Just heard a podcast by some homesteaders talking about this. Apparently there are contracts that bigger farmers sign with specific processing plants. They almost have to do this to protect themselves against lawsuits. When that processing plant gets closed, they legally cannot take the meat elsewhere, and because of their younger animals coming up in their own chain, the animals must be destroyed. They aren’t even allowed to sell the animals live to another farm. It is ridiculous and crazy, all because of regulations and lawsuits.
