Yep, you read the header right. Butchering your own pig meat and selling it in VA is against the law.
Think about it...
WHO would YOU rather BUY from?
A small farmer who sells fresh and natural pig's meat locally to local people on his OWN land and cares for each animal individually. The to-be bacon lives in the open in a natural environment rooting with it's snout looking for things to eat. (Pigs LOVE to use their snouts to root!)
OR
A CORPORATION whose object is MASS-PRODUCTION MEAT. The to-be bacon lives in giant, warehouse-like sheds, until they reach a slaughter weight of 250 pounds at 6 months old. They live on concrete packed in with many other pigs or in tiny lil' metal cages until butchering day.

Which pig is healthier to eat?
Free range piggy...
Mass production piggy...
And ya know, it doesn't stop with pigs. The eggs you buy in stores are processed the same way, as is the turkey and the chicken.
Below is my family's free range happy pets
that give us healthy eggs everyday!
USDA and FDA approved housing conditions at an egg factory!
Would you like that scrambled or fried?
What is it the the meat industry and keeping our food in tiny yucky cages and dark stinky warehouses?
Why is it the USDA and FDA think that it's okay to keep our food in unsanitary and unnatural conditions? Yet, the small guy with that serves his community, by offering an alternative to the hormone injected meat from Walmart, is treated like a criminal?
