Another demonstration of administrative class over reach is demonstrated by the fact that about 5 yrs ago, backyard poultry keepers were restricted from buying antibiotics to treat their flocks. Prior to that, if a chicken developed a respiratory infection (bacterial, not viral) or got an infected wound, we could purchase antibiotics from our local farm store to treat them. It now requires a veterinary prescription! Good luck finding a vet who will see a chicken, unless you lives in the boonies. (So now the vet gets a cut, big Pharma gets a cut and it costs the poultry owner a ton of money.) We immediately stocked up while it was still available but many switched to using fish antibiotics, which are basically the same, just smaller quantities. The government wants to control EVERY. SINGLE. ASPECT. OF. YOUR. LIFE. This has to stop!
