Unacceptable Rypstra
05 31 2021 Gggg (WS) Roosters Wanted
I'm often surprised by the twists and turns the attack on western society takes. We just found out last night about a local battle...the battle to keep roosters.
It seems our local municipality has decided to kill the roosters on Saltspring Island, our sister island which is only ~1/2 hr ferry ride away.
These roosters are not wild, no! Saltspring is a quiet, rural island with many small farms. The CRD had decided to target these farms and backyard egg producers & breeders.
Roosters have many functions outside the obvious, (providing young chickens for generations to come). They also protect the hens from predators such as mink, raccoon and hawks, as well as, the hens are happier with a healthy male around, and fertilized eggs are high in omega-3, just to mention a few.
Thankfully one individual is having none of this cull, and will be facing the CRD in court (yes, I wrote that right...our local powers that be are taking a farmer to court for not handing over a healthy individual rooster for destruction),
There is a petition too. I found it easily by typing in 'Saltspring Island'/'Roosters' and 'CRD'. Hopefully neighbouring farms resist as well, for one can only wonder how long it will take for the attack to shift to our neighbour's farms on the peninsula and outlying Victoria areas such as Sooke.
Freedoms are eroding faster than we can keep track of. I do not usually post items with info such as this, but isn't it worth the fight...?
Keep your wits about you, post private property signs at the base of your, preferably gated, driveways, do not let officials onto the property, do not reach out to take any paperwork, and do not register your wells or anything else the powers that be want control of. ...for what you register, you no longer legally own. Here in Canada, if you resist registering, (your well for example), the 'Queen' still gives you the right to use it as you wish.
This is an older shot, taken on the same day as another rooster upload of mine. It can be found in the first comment box below if you wish to see another handsome fellow.
