This week, I ran across the story of Paul Strobel, a farmer in Western NY who had a run-in with some animal rights activists that left him shaken and worried that they might try to steal his livestock.His story reminded me of a farmer near me several years ago name Joshua Rockwood who did have his animals taken under the guise of animal rights.  He was able to fight and get his animals returned to him. On this episode, we talk about how we as homesteaders should be vigilant and how we can take steps to avoid problems with animal rights activists.Enjoy!!Brian!!Story of Paul Strobel:https://www.lancasterfarming.com/farming-news/livestock/rescue-or-theft-animal-welfare-activists-have-new-york-farm-community-on-edge/article_7614d3b2-e44d-11ed-b2fd-efaf86e867d8.htmlStory of Joshua Rockwood:https://www.bedlamfarm.com/2021/09/08/the-joshua-rockwood-story-a-good-man-a-happy-ending-a-father-of-the-army-of-good/Support the showhttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/bloghttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/newsletterhttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.net/supporthttp://www.thehomesteadjourney.nethttps://www.facebook.com/TheHomesteadJourneyPodcasthttps://www.youtube.com/c/TheHomesteadJourneyhttps://www.facebook.com/3BFarmNY/https://www.instagram.com/thehomesteadjourneypodcast/?hl=enhttps://teespring.com/stores/thehomesteadjourneypodcastBrian@thehomesteadjourney.net
