Welcome
to the Farm Food Freedom Fighters web site. Our goal is to
create a place to join those affected by the meat
regulations and those who wish to assist them. We are
searching for ways to return British Columbia to a place
where farmers can raise healthy, calm animals, and can sell
them from their farm gate without fear, as people have done
all over the world for centuries.

New B.C. Meat
Regulations
Make Buying The Chicken Next Door Illegal
Small rural producers, even if culling the odd animal to feed a
neighbour, can no longer do so without bringing the animal to a
government approved abattoir. This could be hundreds of miles
away, costs money and adds to fossil fuels, takes precious time
and causes the animal much stress. This frequently makes the act
of
slaughtering a home-raised animal prohibitive, and many farmers
are declining to raise meat animals rather than face a $25,000 -
$50,000 fine. This recent government action is supposedly in the
name of our health, but it obviously drives those who were
eating local free range animals back to the supermarkets to buy
meat.
