After police sealed off the farm, the men in white entered his barn and systematically injected a fast-acting poison into more than 833 of his sheep, many of them newborn lambs and heavily pregnant ewes. "No one could move without permission," says Gagnon. "Everyone was carefully watched, and there were even two helicopters flying overhead monitoring all movement. It was as if they...
