NAIS(National animal Identification System) requires that every single person who owns one livestock type animal, exotic fowl such as parakeets and fish, even if it is a pet, will join. (note-even though the UASDA claims NAIS is voluntary, the document says it is mandatory!) I do not own cattle and am in no way connected to the beef/pork/chicken industry but because I own horses, I will be forced to be part of this plan, thereby working for free for big ag, and paying into the system with my time and money just so you and the world can enjoy "the appearance" of safe beef/pork/chicken... Under NAIS I must--- 1. register my premises with the government, even though this step clouds title to private property simply by the language used. A 15 digit gps/bar code type number goes with the property forever, even if at a later date, there are no animals are on it. 2. All my critters must be microchipped. Besides the costs of chips, vet calls, scanners and computer programs will be needed (more $) Factory farms like Cargill, do NOT have to do this, they get one lot number per group of animals. Any animal in that group could be diseased and who would know. 3. I report All births, deaths and movements reported into a database within 24 hours or face huge fines. This costs time and money and databases are often hacked into. Again factory farms have few reporting events, already what they do as part of business. 4. If animal disease is suspected in an area, the USDA can depopulate a 6 mile radius (140 sq. miles of dead healthy animals that never came in contact with the supposed sick animal). Testing for disease not necessary. Don't you feel safer about what you eat because I told the govt everywhere I rode my horse, gave up my property rights and spent thousands of dollars in microchipping, report fees and technical equipment? Or do you think I am just plain crazy? Well I wish I were the crazy one but this program is what your govt thinks will keep our food supply safe. And they got one hatched that will track private gardens, also. (HR2749) even though we do not want nor need any of these programs. NAIS is being pushed as an animal disease tracking program but it will not prevent animal disease nor ensure food safety since tracking stops at slaughter, after which is when food safety issues occur. How does my telling the government where and when I ride my horse insure the you and the Japanese are eating safe American beef?!?!?!
