WTF, seriously this is the kind of thing I TEAR APART nOObs for suggesting... Physically harm the meter maintenance guys? They just work for the power company...they are doing a job and going home at 5pm to take care of their families... they get a work order in hand and go deal with it. That does not sound like the response of a mature woman.

Well if you let your dogs out, the lawsuit's gonna be on YOU.

Look, sometimes in life you just have to suck it up and do things within the confines of the law. Go ahead and talk to an attorney if you like. I highly recommend for any serious grower to do a little research and find a good attorney with related experience BEFORE you get raided! I keep one on speed dial. When I have questions like this, I can just call him up. It is worth every penny.

You came under investigation after you applied for aid, is that correct? You asked them for something and in doing so drew attention to yourself. The smoother this all goes, the better... just argue with them that you have the right to keep pet reptiles if you like, that's it. The dog issue, call the humane society or whatever and find out how to lodge a formal complaint, because THAT needs to be done, but beyond that, one of the biggest rules of growing is :

DON'T MAKE WAVES.
