New American: "Mich. State Agents Raid Pig Farms to Kill So-called 'Invasive Species'"

FourthAmendment.com - News - Mon, 2026-05-11 10:12

New American: Mich. State Agents Raid Pig Farms to Kill So-called "Invasive Species" by Raven Clabough:

Michigan's Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) has reportedly violated the Fourth Amendment by conducting two armed raids on pig farms in the state's Kalkaska and Cheboygan Counties. The incursions, which included six vehicles and 10 armed men, were apparently for the purpose of shooting all the farmers' pigs under the new “Invasive Species Order” (ISO) that has much of declared traditional livestock to be an invasive species.

In 2010, the Michigan DNR outlawed feral swine — pigs classified as non-native, invasive, and said to be carriers of disease and overall harmful to the environment. Though groups fought adamantly to overturn the ban, it went into effect April 1.
