Tresspassing

This is an amazing video. It's as if the family is living a nightmare which drags on and on and on.
The farm grows heritage Russian pigs, which are kind of furry. They look a bit different than the pigs we usually see which are crammed into small areas on the usual humongous commercial operation. The pigs are free range on the Baker's farm, with electric fencing to keep them within bounds. They are friendly, happy animals, doing what pigs like to do.
The state DOJ has decided that the pigs are feral. They don't have the correct appearance of a domesticated pig. This has made the Baker's family lives pure hell. Mark Baker owed a fine of $700,000, but that was before his sows gave birth to the spring shoats. He figures the fine is probably well over a million dollars now. Mark cannot sell his animals, and has no income due to our government's tyrannical machinations. The whole episode reminds me of the book 1984.
