USDA Agent Sarah Conant's Hidden Agenda Exposed in the John Dollarhite Rabbit Story

In case you haven't heard, there has been no resolution in the Dollarhite rabbit saga. John Dollarhite is the Nixa, Missouri man who bought his son two rabbits to teach him responsibility, and the hobby soon began supplying rabbits to the Branson popular theme park Silver Dollar City. And now the USDA is asking the Dollarhites to give up their Constitutional rights in exchange for the fines to be dropped providing they play along with the USDA's deman.

Since I broke the story, Bob McCarty helped the story go viral to attract national outrage, and the story even reached the Rush Limbaugh show. The USDA decided to negotiate a settlement and was granted permission to inspect the Dollarhite's land for rabbits. Of course, the Dollarhites got out of the bunny rabbit business long before the story broke.



A week after the inspection, the USDA sent the following letter to the Dollarhites. As you read the letter you will see it clearly asks the Dollarhites to surrender the Constitutional rights by granting the USDA jurisdiction, which they clearly don't have since the Dollarhites never engaged in interstate commerce.

Thanks to a follow up story on Andrew Breitbart's Big Government today, there appears to be a hidden agenda of another bureaucrat pushing their weight around at the USDA. She also signed the first letter to the Dollarhites demanding $90,634 dollars from the Missouri family. Here's what one Bretibart reader discovered about Sarah Conant, who signed the letter to the Dollarhites:

I went back to the original story, where the Dollarhites had received the shakedown letter from the USDA. It was signed by a "Sarah Conant". A quick google of this individual traces her back to the University of Virginia Law School, where she founded the Virginia Animal Law Society, which is affiliated with the Animal Legal Defense fund. When you check out the Animal Legal Defense Fund, particularly their blog, you will note that these folks are crusaders, determined not just to protect animals from cruelty, but to prevent them from being used as food.


In other words, there is a strong possibility that this is being driven by an animus against traditionally accepted animal husbandry and commerce. The vigilance and heavy-handed methods applied seem to bear this out. Their expressed purpose of trying to get the Dollarhites out of this business, with the threats they have made, seems to bear this out.

Interesting indeed. It sounds like PETA and groups like it have managed to infiltrate the USDA to push their agenda on Americans. Clearly, that does seem like it may be the hidden agenda that attracts USDA agent Sarah Conant's attention to the Dollarhite's rabbit hobby. When it comes to radicals like Conant who put animal rights before American rights, you can see clearly why the Dollarhites were told they were going to be made an example of by the USDA.
