It could be for someone's benefit as well. You've heard me say many times, If you support January 6th and want to hold a sign, that's great. That's your First Amendment right. If you don't like animals, people eating animals, hold a sign. That's your right. Just don't take an action because once you've taken that action, now you've introduced risk and consequence. That's a whole different world.

Well, there is one, Hannah, and correct me on the facts on this one, because I couldn't find the article. There was a mink farm that there was a virus was introduced there. So no one could ever raise a mink there again. And for me, that checks a few of those boxes as we start getting closer to defining what a terrorist act was. Did that actually happen? Do you remember any details about that one?

Oh, there's another level too. So in addition to those people at the farm, one of those armbands might be the cyber bullying team that's going after the kids that have an animal at the farm. I mean, that for me is breaks my heart because they're already, if you're a kid anyway, there's going to be some level of cyber bullying that happens.

If you're a kid in the agricultural community, it is a dog pile. I mean, my heart breaks for a lot of this stuff. And sometimes that's done in conjunction with the physical at the gate. And now you got the online intimidation as well. I view those as hand in glove and not separate incidents.

I do. And thank you for bringing up the summit. It is one of the best conferences I've ever been to. I do feel, and Hannah, you might want to cover your ears, that they price it too low for the value of the conference because a lot of times you go to conferences just for the networking and the capsules are throwaway conversations. This one, it's just riveting.

Everything about it is done really well. And it's a good group of people. And there's a camaraderie as well when you're in there. Everyone feels it's just a very friendly place to be. So I'm glad I was going to give you a shout out for that one if you hadn't brought that one up. Going back to the education piece, another group that needs to be educated in my mind are these animal activists.

We said that an action can result in risk and consequence and puts you on the radar screen of law enforcement. I think sometimes these activists don't realize what is also on these farms. It's not just the animals they're rescuing.
