Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 Are you aware of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) due to become mandatory by Jan 2008? Every animal that you grow for your own use, for fun or food, will have to be tagged at your expense, with GPS. The infomation keepers will not be the government. The USDA is working on privatizing the system. This is a death knell to those of us who rely on locally grown and raised food. I can understand the big mega-producers having to keep track of where their animals come from or go to, but the small guy? Here's the direct link to the USDA's site with the spin http://animalid.aphis.usda.gov/nais/index.shtml If you would like more information I've got some posted on my blog http://henwhisperer.blogspot.com/ This is not good, folks. Sharon in VT PS for any Vermonters: Leahy was the co-author of the originial bill and has not returned my phone calls or email inquiries, which is quite different for him.
