Court documents reveal new details about arrests of two farmers in Lancaster, York Counties
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 май 2024
- It's been three weeks since two central Pennsylvania men were arrested and taken to prison.
Ethan Wentworth of Airville, York County and Rusty Herr of Christiana, Lancaster County have sat in their respective county prisons since April 10 and 11.
Herr and Wentworth run NoBull Solutions, LLC., a breeding company that helps dairy farms with the reproductive management of cattle.
Brook Duer, a staff attorney with the Penn State Center for Agricultural and Shale Law, has been following the case closely. He says a lot of people in the agricultural industry are familiar with Wentworth and Herr, due to previous complaints against them, claiming they were practicing veterinary care without a license.

Government overreach at its finest.
When an industry/entity can weaponize the government against a private citizen, we are on the downhill slide towards destruction...and we've been here for a while.
And yet armed robbers and other violent criminals walk free.
only in philly lol
Ignore subpoenas and failed to show for a legal proceeding? Who do thru think the are? Hunter Biden?
Keep voting blue or Democrat and this is only going to get worse.
Right this is complete BS, theses guys weren't even practicing medicine they were giving ultrasounds to farm animals, this is all an attempt to eliminate the small farmer so big corporations can seize their land. These good ol american boys are sitting in prison over civil complaints meanwhile violent criminals that are here illegally murdering Americans who's only consequence is to just be released back into Mexico so they can just turn around & come right back. Complete insanity
@@michaelkrzyzaniak1045 Political corruption is rampant, among all parties. It's the system that rules by coercion, the initiation of force (law) instead of reason, rights. Why can't people see what they are doing to themselves and stop it, e.g., stop voting to be extorted, ruled by force, lied to, defrauded?
Arrested and jailed for examining if a cow is impregnated.
That is nuts in itself
It sure is. Pregnancy is normal.
Let me guess, they offer services to Amish?
Pennsylvania seems to be after the Amish.
Just because a news channel shows a quick clip of an ultrasound fetus, does not automatically mean they were jailed for using ultrasound machines for pregnancies.
All those shoeing horses better watch out, vets are pissed🤣🤣🤣
@@Older_Mountain-goat_1984 do some research this is exactly what the company does. It doesn't give medicine out, it doesn't even do ivf which is also offered by other companies that don't employ a vet(when are they going to be arrested🤷) they are a ultrasound scanning service so you can have early detection of pregnancy. They aren't part of the vet community, they don't need a lisence and are not accountable to the regulatory board for vets, so when the vets put in a complaint that you are doing something that isn't allowed because you aren't one of them and take it to court to tell you off and fine you do you really think that turning up is required, NO because YOU ARE NOT A VET AND THEY HAVE NO LEGAL SAY OVER YOU. The case should of been thrown out the second the judge saw that the vetenarian board had no legal jurisdiction over those men. 🤦
An accusation by a private corporation that has no authority over people who are not members or employees has no weight in law. That is NOT due process.
Exactly. A warrant for their arrest to force them into court is one thing, but to be sentenced without so much as a hearing is unconstitutional.
Bill of assunder ! !!?
Attempting to boost milk production is not a veterinary procedure.
government just doesn't like the lack of diverse genders in the dairy cow population lolz Someone's feelings could get hurt! What if a bull identified as a cow? NO ONE ASKED. Definitely worthy of jail time makes total sense lolz.
Gov overreach!!! Get rid of EPA
We need to ask why?
Get rid of the EPA the FBI, the CIA the World Health Organization, the public school system the FDA the CDC all the three letter industries that are money laundering and stealing this country right out from underneath you and the gaul they have to do it in front of your face and say that it’s for your own good like Americans are a bunch of little kids I don’t think so
Pa seems to be the worst. Heck they tried to ruin an Amish farmer.
No, it's Pennsylvania. The whole place is a mafioso gang. They saw the federal government getting away with overreach without consequences and decided they could too.
And the CDC, FDA, FBI, CIA, NSA, USDA, etc....
This is why ppl don’t trust legal system!!
Our system is completely broken!
You let the State's lawyer talk for most of this video, but you silenced the defendant's lawyer - it's obvious which lawyer is telling the truth, given how afraid you are of letting him speak and be heard.
Our news always back the government. I wonder why? Could it be they get government funds?
with his rainbow headphones.
This is direct retaliation from state officials against the Amish and local farmers. The evidence shows the complete contrary of what’s being said this is absolutely injustice, and Tierney, and a disgrace to Pennsylvania and the whole country that’s being attacked because we don’t except their chemically laced food, please make phone calls and demand their release.
Seems like farmers probably can't afford veterinarian care anymore so they reach out to others to help
tyranny
All parts of the globalist agenda.
EXACTLY, they must have passed some bullshit law and these Amisgmh farmers, who have been farming the same way for 4 centuries now have to deal with assholes like Professor Bootlicker there, who THINKS he's an expert on EVERYTHING Luke every worthless college professor in existence. Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.
Doesn't look like there is any evidence presented here that they actually received ANY notice of these UNCONSTITUTIONAL overreach.
License, the fine you pay to exercise your rights.
Well said..
Exactly 💯
Someone didn’t like them using ultrasound, and came up with false accusations. That person had a buddy on the vet licensing board, and were able to push it through. Using ultrasound on cattle to determine if a cow is pregnant is not “practicing veterinary medicine”. It’s literally just preg checking a cow, except with technology instead of your arm in the cow.
Exactly. Artificial insemination has been performed by dairy farmers and cattle ranchers for centuries. Checking for pregnancy for a cow does not make you a vet🤦♂️🤷♂️.
Their probably doing embryo transfers. Still no big deal, most AI and some farmers do this and have been for 20 + years.
I come from a dairy farm.
Be careful. This is precedent. Next it's going after human pregnancy tests in stores because they can. But who are they going to go after? The people who buy them. Someone needs to use this argument to smash what they're doing.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT FARMERS OR FARMING FORCING COMMON FOLKS TO BEND TO GOVERNMENT
Exactly!
What farmer has money to go through this legal drama?
This is surreal. Vets don't like not getting paid to do ultrasounds on cows? Farmers should be allowed to do as they wish- provided they are not abusing animals or putting the public at risk.
3:32 "There was plenty of due process here..."
What an idiot. There was NO criminal case. While it's true that a criminal case can be initiated by the actions in a civil case, that never happened here. The judge in a civil court simply ordered the incarceration of two people without any criminal case whatsoever.
Exactly!
They had no hearing & no trial, yet they were sentenced to prison.
There is no evidence that they were ever properly served.
They weren't because there isn't. Not even if you had followed them around for a a year and videoed everything.
They should claim that they are BLM or Antifa...... they'd be out of prison in nothing flat!
Without bail
Kidnapped by the Tyrants.
How is giving an Ultrasound for a cow be a prision sentence. If you want your cow Ultrasounded you shouldn't need a vet. Bull Crap charges
Did they ever actually receive any court orders, warnings or documents?' Were they ever made aware of what was going on? Did the "records seal" include them as well? Did the process servers "accidentally serve, mail or deliver the papers to the wrong addresses?
Something smells suspicious here.
i agree. LOT'S OF times those paper's dont get to the person.
@@thomasgirty6397 A bureaucratic LEA game. If they sh00 you de4d then there's even less burden of proof that the v1ctim was even aware of ant legal action and the media is a branch of government so we won't get the truth from them either.
Why is EPA going after small farmers? Who wants there farms?
Great question!
Is the EPA involved?
China and bill gates
@@richh5824 China's land ownership gets a lot of attention, but as far as the actual amount, it's tiny. Most of the foreign-owned land is Canadian (about a third of all foreign-owned farmland). After that, it's Netherlands, Italy, France and Germany which collectively own 29% of all foreign-held land. China's stake is less than 1%.
Bill Gates is another story. He's the biggest private farmland owner in the USA and his stake keeps growing. I'm equally concerned with giant corporate agriculture colluding with the federal government to bankrupt and drive out small farmers so their land could be gathered up on the cheap, thus centralizing control. It gives the big ag businesses even more market share, and it allows the federal government to more easily centralize its control over our food supply.
The corporations want the farms. Corporations control the government. How do you control the people? Mess with the food chain and take away the peoples ability to defend themselves.
This is what fascism looks like. They ignored the Furher?
If they don’t have a license then this agency has no right to ask anything because they only have authority over those who have their licenses
The complaint was likely filed by a state or national veterinary association trying to claim that as something that falls under their license. Similar disputes have occurred between other licensed health care professionals to protect their areas of specialties and income. If the complaint was that they were doing ultrasound on other people's cows, maybe they should just rent a portable ultrasound to their customers by the day or hour so they ultrasound their own cows. I didn't hear that any of their customers had a complaint.
Good lord im so glad i left that state 10 years ago. The corruption there is so bad. They are trying to destroy farming there.
overreach of an authoritarian government and complete absence of free market principals
Helping people to diagnose their animals
Mist have pissed off a veterinarian that had connections
Ultrasound is not a medical intervention. It is barely different than using a stethoscope. We used to tell our students that ultrasound is the stethoscope of the future....it is now the stethoscope of the present. It astounds me that this is even a case. Shame on that judge for acting with ignorance.
it's basicly taking a photo. they are not doing ANY vet work i can see. butt hurt agency not getting it's money, that's all.
Sue them
What a load of Bull!
I hope these gentlemen look at the judge and the officials to see if there's any conflict of interest with any corporations any land or any assets because this is happening all over the country very corrupt judges and officers arrested people
If the people were happy with what they were doing for them 'they shouldn't be in jail 'but they should have some kind of insurance policy 'and Intellectual teaching. Just being good old farmer is not going to go over to good. But raising cows and farming has went on for 1000 of years ' without any vets sticking their noses into it!!!
a victimless "crime" until the government makes ITSELF the victim. pathetic.
Contempt of court should be ABOLISHED.
That's a stupid statement.
@@farmerbill6855no. It's not. If you don't have contempt for the American justice system then you're not paying attention.
@@Iamdrjohnny get a life. Or maybe, just an education.
@@farmerbill6855 I have a life and some of it's documented here on RUclips unlike you who've been on here for over a decade and still making silly ass comments.
Feel free to stop commenting to me and go back to licking the boot of your master anytime you want to.
@@farmerbill6855 I'll put my IQ up against you and your three best friends any day miss.
The men don't belong to that organization. We citizens are sick of the overreacting of government.
Unpunished government overreach is what justifies vigilante justice on said overreach.
So basically they go to jail for helping fellow farmers. As long as they didn't represent themselves as vets to farmers I don't see the problem. Sounds political motivation to me
What they were doing is not veterinary practice in any way shape or form. Somebody is pissed that they might be taking business away from them. Pennsylvania, stop jacking with the farmers or go hungry!
arrested for photography. that's all it seem's to me they did. someone did'nt get their fee's ,so let's sic the state on them. disgusting abuse of the court's.
Pregnancy is not a disease to be diagnosed. It is not a veterinarians only role. This is godfather stand over tactics.
The State Board of Veterinary medicine doesn’t make law. There should have first been a trial to even determine if what the men were doing could be considered “practicing veterinary medicine”. Using a sonogram machine with no drugs involved just to see if a cow is pregnant can arguably be contested as NOT practicing veterinary medicine. Are they going to decide next that a Farrier is practicing veterinary medicine when they trim someone’s horse’s hooves? This should have been a civil suit, not a criminal case. There’s no law that I’m aware of that specifically says non-licensed persons can’t use a sonogram device on a cow. What law they broke first has to be determined.
sound's like PHOTOGRAPHY to me.
Animal husbandry has been practiced for thousands of years. It has never been regulated veterinary care. Nothing they are doing requires medical training. The state board of Veterinariary regulation has no authority over unregulated activities like animal husbandry. Government overreach.
Giant law suit.
in jail for photography??? yep, big money.
PA Department of Agriculture....."we continue to loose dairy farms and are in critical danger of loosing our agriculture infrastructure".......also PA Department of Agriculture....." Jail those trying to help farmers"
I didn’t hear about how were they served?.
Jesus stand and deal wirh Pennsylvania. Justice LORD
Why doesn’t Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro do something about this??? Or has he already done something??
Yes he allowed this to happen without any checks or balances that is what due process is!
Just because there are judges "IN THE POCKETS" OF THE AMERICAN CORPERATION, we should not be extorted. MONEY, MONEY, MONEY
The veterinary community says doing ultrasound is unlicensed pracitce of veterinary medicine, but farmers themselves are allowed to do it. Go figure.
The entity involved has no.authority to have anyone arrested or incarcerated; moreover, it's a civil, not criminal matter.
In prison for contempt of bureaucracy . .
and photography. that's all it was.
Sad. Who's got the axe to grind is the question.
Is there any proof that those documents were accepted or received
Maybe the Court Never Sent them the Paperwork!!!
My dog has a rash on her belly. I put Cortizone on her. I'm not a vet...Did I commit a crime?
Common Wealths Do Not Uphold the Constitution I have Experienced this
It's time to get involved people...these criminal bureaucrats are coming to a town near you. We don not consent, nor do we give authority to demons. In Jesus' Holy name
"Our government makes crime out of things which are not a crime. Abraham Lincoln
Just because those documents were filed, doesn’t mean these men ever received a copy of it
Kidnapping just 1 is worth 20years. The judge and his corrupt minions should get 40 years each, plus the illegal actions that led up to it. You can't just make up laws to suit your wants.
No one has AUTHORITY to regulate cattle.
The two under investigation were ordered to turn over personal documents that might incriminate them, didn't and that's a crime? What about the right to remain silent and secure in your personal papers?
if you have NEVER been to court, how can there be contempt???
Providing an ultrasound to pregnancy check cows hurt the big Veterinarian lobby so much they had to pursue civil action. What a bunch of crap.
Funny thing back in the day farmers had to be vets to take care of animals. Put people in jail for civil contempt now but let hardened criminals out to do more harm. What a joke.
Whos behind it..veterinarian association...thats who..
Dont eat that Elmer, that's bull$hit!
So I guess every rancher in history and now who doesn't use a vetenarian for all their animals should be in jail? Can you imagine having the vet come in everyday to check on your chickens while they lay their eggs.
Did anyone over the years decide to serve these guys with papers from the court cause they sure had no problem serving that arrest warrant those two definitely know they're getting arrested. Kinda weird that this has been going on for years now and not even a peep from these two to the courts. Not even an inquiry that's odd
Or the media, they said they defendants lawyer had put out more info, but didn't show any of it. I gave up on all media a long time ago.
Using a ultrasound is not vet. Only services
How can a medical body (a board of veterinary surgeons) have any jurisdiction over non members or even non veterinarians, especially if they are not performing medical practices? Are they going to imprison all the state's hoof trimmers now?
How can you be held in contempt of court if you never even had a court date or even saw a judge? Also, this is a civil court, not a criminal court. Therefore no criminal charges can be charged, right?.
Prison over paperwork
Its all about control.
I wonder if their lawyer kept advising them they didn't need to do anything, OR, told them he was doing something but didnt.
OR, they never received any notice.
So EVIL. Going after Farmers
It's like no one told them they are being sued.
Better not look at a pregnant lady, that goes for you fathers, as well, you might be charged with malpractice.
"Do Process" seem to be in shortage these days. There will be more.
The sheriff, judge and all government employees involved in this illegal act should be in jail.
So.. should the makers of pregnancy testers be in prison, or the potential Moms that used them, because theyre not doctors, or NPs ??.. this is nutz !
as law enforcement constantly tells suspects, "if you have nothing to hide, why not cooperate?" there is no logical reason for the government to have this sealed. people's names who are being investigated are always in the news.
how does a regulatory board have power over an individual who is not a member of that board?
an agency has no legal authority to have someone incarcerated. they should have the local/state prosecutor bring charges against the person(s), had a trial for the adjudication of the defendants, innocent or guilty, before being thrown into prison for non-violent (probably misdemeanors) crimes.
definitely an abuse of governmental authority.
The judge is in a civil court and not a criminal court and doesn't have the right to put people in jail.
Why should they? The veterinary board has no jurisdiction over these farmers. Ridiculous, they’re not veterinarians.
Checking to see if your cattle are bred …. Not practicing veterinary medicine.
Shame, shame, shame on the state of Pennsylvania. You are over stepping your bounds and illegally jailing people.
Thanks Fox for finally bringing out the facts in this case. Those who uncritically accepted the defense lawyers’ claims should be embarrassed.
Such a shame! This could happen to anyone! Let the farmers alone!
Veterinarians brought the complaints because they were losing money because of the Defendants' business. Their fellow veterinarians on the Licensing Board backed them up. Wentworth and Herr should have fought the "guild" in Court vigorously back in 2010.
If doing ultrasound to see if the insemination took so you don’t waste the semen trying to fertilize a pregnant cow is practicing veterinary medicine then taking the cow’s temperature with a thermometer to see if it’s sick would be too?
Simple question: Are non-registered individuals subject to the regulations of the agency that enforces the regulations upon their registered members?
For example: Does the board of realtors have regulatory power over everyone who assists in selling real estate?
I know it's inconveint, farmers should hire a vet to go around to the dairy farms and do the checks.
Robert Barnes is a godsend to Pennsylvania farmers. He sees injustice and goes after those who promulgate it.Thank you, Attorney Barnes!
Your report is clearly biased against these men. I hope you continue to lose viewers for your incompetence and lack of care for citizens’ rights. Those who take the side of the government no matter what and cover up the truth will one day reap what they sew.
Why prison this is not legal
I call BS!
They needed to claim their American Constitutional right the right to be heard and know why they’re being arrested…. Before they went quietly they should have demanded their rights.And the right to a trial by jury as a citizen of the United States…..
There is nothing "fair and balanced" about this report. Y'all should be ashamed and never call yourselves journalists.
Like we don't have actual criminals that they could put in prison, They need to let us as American citizens alone. And leave the farmers alone .
Al Capone did not get convicted of murder, but of tax evasion.
Just wrong this is happening!🤬🤬🤬🤬
That still Does Not call for PRISON. You go to Jail, not Prison for Contemt of Court. The People of the State of Pennsylvania should have a Grand Jury Indict the Judge and Arresting Officers to send them to Prison for 30 Days for Illegal Imprisonment. The Judge should lose his/her right to ever practice law and the Officers should lose their right to ever Own or Carry a Firearm which would cause them to lose their jobs and have to change careers. Come on Pennsylvania, Do what is right.
