It's become increasingly obvious that the point of all regulation is to strangle small businesses to protect big agricultural companies, at least to anybody who doesn't love the taste of boot polish anyway. Purdue or McDonald's or whatever can afford to kill 1000's of animals at the drop of a hat and it doesn't matter, small farms with 200 animals or whatever cannot, and that is the real goal.
Early this year BC passed some legislation that ruled a medication for a disease that bees get from blueberry spraying (similar to american foulbrood, but not as severe) that was previously easily accessible and easily diagnosed (larva turn into gooey brown slop), now had to be prescribed by a vet. Guess how many BEE veterinarians there are, and how likely it is that you live near one? Now at the whims of the government, if my bees get sick of a disease I can easily diagnose on my own, I have to pull a frame of larva, mail it to some government official, wait a month for them to confirm the obvious, then get the permission slip get the medicine I already know I need about 3 weeks after the hive is dead. The big beekeepers just have a vet on staff whose only job is to approve whatever they ask for. There are diseases that merit purging, but it is beyond obvious that is the justification and not the purpose. Go and suck a cock, you boot polisher.
