With the European (plus British and Irish) farmers on the march against government overreach, now is perhaps a good time to review the kind of steps that can be taken legally to discourage heavy-handed government measures based upon pretexts that may not actually stand up to scrutiny in depth.
For example, take Bovine Tuberculosis, the cause of which is/was said to be the "reservoir" of the disease in wild badgers, which prompted the extensive culling of badgers in recent years.
Being not a farmer myself, I haven't heard of any particular widespread situation related to Bovine TB, and as far as I know the WEF has not yet mandated the destruction of our cattle for any reason other than excessive flatulence.
But in case I am behind the curve here, I draw attention to the Bernician's published "NOCA" process (NB - I am no lawyer either, so this is not legal advice) for discouraging the authorities (or anyone else) from "trying it on" without undertaking the necessary due diligence.
(Full disclosure - I am as partial to a good bit of roast beef as the next Brit)
It strikes me that this process could be reasonably easily adapted to deal with similar situations, such as culling for bird flu or quaxxinating for human flu, or even disease X, which the WHO assures us will be along any minute.
Forewarned is forearmed; but don't rely on me, I'm just a crazy conspiracy theorist ...
