Southwest Missouri rabbit seller stunned by $90,000 federal fine

NIXA, Mo. | A southwest Missouri man who said he made about $200 selling rabbits has been ordered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture to pay more than $90,000 for doing business without a license.

John Dollarhite, who ran Dollarvalue Rabbitry from April 2008 to December 2009, said he didn’t know he needed a license to sell bunnies.

He was told that if he didn’t pay the penalty by last Monday he could face possible litigation and civil penalties up to $10,000 for each violation. His attorney has told the agency Dollarhite rejects the proposed penalty and wants a hearing.

U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat who grew up in a rural area, has taken up Dollarhite’s cause. She told the Springfield News-Leader the proposed fine “defies common sense.”

“They have much better things to do with their time than go after families that have sold some rabbits for pets,” McCaskill said.

USDA spokesman Dave Sacks said the agency was trying to work out a different penalty, but he didn’t know what that would be.

The USDA learned about Dollarhite’s operation after an inspector looking at a licensed facility found that some of the animals there came from Dollarhite.

The proposed settlement said Dollarhite sold 619 animals from April 3, 2008, to Dec. 21, 2009, even after being told several times that he needed a license. He since has closed the business, which sold rabbits for $10 to $12 apiece.

Nothing will be done. Maybe the fine will be forgiven due to publicity, and this fucking behemoth govt will grow larger and more controlling. Look at the FDA and all their criminal acts. (And I think anyone who has been affected by their banning actual *rescue* inhalers- new formulations do not rescue anyone- would in anyone else be considered criminal. Hurt by drugs they approved? Can't sue 'em. Hurt by lack of drugs they have taken off market? Can't sue 'em, Want raw milk, Fuck you you criminal, can't buy it. ...)
