National Animal Identification System still in Play

The National Animal Identification System or NAIS, is still in play after the USDA spending $147 million in tax dollars without emplacing a program, primary due to the hue and cry of people like us knowing that this is a solution to a non existent problem.

As you remember, the NAIS planned for all livestock animals including horses to be tagged with a microchip and these animal's movement reportable to the government.

Never mind that it would do nothing prevent the spread of diseases, it was really an excuse for more government control of our lives. And where there is money, there is someone pushing to get it. Private comapnies like Digital Angel and Allflex are helping push the NAIS train due to bushels of money it would bring them, no doubt.

You can go to Farm and Ranch Freedom.org and contact Judith McGeary for more information or maybe to help in this fight. I for one, ain't putting microchips into my horses.
