Mich. ‘Feral Swine’ Farmer Calls for Resignation of DNR Officials and Others

Farmer Mark Baker was on Doc Thompson‘s radio show today and he has a message he hopes will shake those in Michigan’s state capital. It is: “We’re not letting up. We’re not letting our family farms go.”

If you’re wondering what Baker, who runs the farm Bakers Green Acres in Michigan, is referring to, he’s talking with Thompson – a man whose voice you may recognize as a fill-in for Glenn Beck at times – about the recent enactment of the “feral swine” ban within the state. As of April 1, those in Michigan raising certain species of pigs deemed non-native for meat or for sport hunting were required to have disposed of their livestock, according to the Invasive Species Order passed in 2010.

On the show, Baker calls for Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Environment officials to resign and also for the Invasive Species Order to be canceled. He says, “I want it done by the end of the week.”

  1. People need to pay attention to this one. It's about the government controlling your food supply.

    Other states are watching to see if Michigan gets away with it.

    I'm no conspiracy nut. People need to get involved on this.

  2. Do you know how fast feral hogs can multiply and how dangerous they can be. Just look at states like Georgia and Texas where people make a living hunting them and removing them from peoples property. Not only are they dangerous they also cause disease and most of the ecoli outbreaks in vegetables from California they are a contributing factor. Plus non native species cause much more harm then good. Look at the Nutria here on the shore.
