Schenectady County, New York – Earlier this month, a family farm in rural New York was raided by police after the owners were cited on a number of trumped up regulatory violations. Joshua Rockwood, the owner of the farm, is being accused of mistreating his animals, and the local government has began confiscating some of them.
Police initially visited Rockwood’s property on February 25th to investigate reports of unlicensed working dogs weeks before the raid. Unfortunately, Rockwood voluntarily showed local police around his property, which he had not yet tended to that day because of their unexpected interruption. After showing them around, they began to critically assess every aspect of the farm, writing a number of citations for arbitrary offenses.
The very next day, Rockwood had a veterinarian visit the farm to check on the animals to confirm that they were well taken care of and in good health. According to numerous reports, the vet said that the animals were just fine, and did not seem to share the concerns that the officers alleged during their walk-through.
A second veterinarian was also called in to verify the health of the animals and they also found them to be in perfect health.
A week later, police returned again to notify Rockwood that he was to appear in court the next Thursday on a number of charges relating to the animal’s food and shelter. In total, 12 different charges were brought against Rockwood, but he has posted a number of photos to a Facebook support page, which shows the animals with sufficient housing, and plenty of food.
Rockwood has been charged with 12 counts of animal neglect and abuse – some of the charges relating to frozen water bowls and tanks – despite the animals still having access to water. His dogs and horses have been seized and taken away.
Rockwood treats his animals better than most factory farms do, but since he uses traditional farming methods, his farm will fail regulatory inspections, while factory farms will pass.
Meanwhile, New York is one of many states that are currently considering “ag-gag” laws, which place criminal penalties on activists who expose animal abuse at factory farms.
The controversial ag-gag laws prohibit “recording an image or sound without the operator’s permission; gaining ‘access to an agricultural operation under false pretenses;’ asking for a job at a place for the purpose of making recordings; and making a recording while trespassing.”
The irony here is that the state will lock you in a cage for filming the horrific atrocities at a factory farm while simultaneously trumping up ridiculous and petty violations if you aren’t a factory farm. Just who does the state “protect” by doing these things?
Rockwood has launched a $50,000 gofundme campaign to raise money to post bond for his horses and to pay for the disrupted legal fees and lost business he has incurred and will incur due to the publicity and effort involved in defending himself. He means to go to court to try to fight the charges and to win back his reputation, his rescue dog, and his horses.
Because of his caring and generous customers and supporters, they are almost halfway to that goal. Please! If you can donate to Rockwood's campaign, please do so as soon as possible! As Americans, our land is under siege. We need to stick together and support each other. Perhaps time for the Militia to show up to protect his farm, and to witness in court.

Another one getting informed:) Sometimes ya just gotta grab the bull by the horns and make it good!
I live in NYC, and this sickens me so much, these small towns upstate are suffering so bad with high unemployment and high taxes, so many of are farms are closed and just sitting there dairy farms in particular. We need to write long letters to the representatives that may not know what is happening, they are compartmentalized too, its hard to think we might be able to trust some of them but the fact is some arent bad people. I personally think this from the fucking Masons its to push us around so they can extort money from us and confiscate our animals this is unlawful!!! The OPPT foreclosed on all corp Govts they Documents are n line i suggest they find them and study what there rights really are, we are Americans and the corrupt govt are running all over us. Its time to use our god given rights. They cannot do this its robbery. The owner of the farm needs to know the Cops have to have a document and or Contract with names of authority they cannot just come there and rob his animals. This man needs to go to his representative and demand his animals back .
He ought to sue them for millions of dollars for infringement of his civil liberties! This must be stopped and now! You'd better bet that old Rothschild, Rockefellers, Ted Turner, Bill Gates, etc. let their animals graze free range and it's not on any gmo alfalfa grass either! This must be stopped! People must stand up now against this onslaught! Now is a good time to contact your 2016 presidential contenders for their help to stop this stuff!
Don't think "representatives" will be too helpful. Could they be part of the "problem"??
