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.
