More scary news about the National Animal Identification System (NAIS)
I found this posting about The National Animal Identification System (NAIS) on Patricia Reszetylo’s blog, EquineTeleseminar I am posting a link to it here because the NAIS may involve horses too and I believe that everyone that pays taxes should be concerned with this issue.
OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK: Chasing a cow over 5 states.
It is written by someone who had a visit from an Investigator from the USDA to their cattle ranch because a cow they sold a year ago didn’t have its ID number on its health paper.
Sounds like a pretty simple and dull matter, but wait until you read the whole story. You will be amazed at all the people that are in violation (deep trouble) because of one missing number (the cow is not missing, just the number).
See how little it takes to be consider and treated as a “second time offender” – USDA legal terms, “wanton, habitual disregard of the law.” And all because a veterinarian wrote the cow’s name on the form instead of a number.
You have to read this whole story

Patricia Reszetylo held a discussion call on the NAIS in March 2006 that you might want to check out. Patricia believes this is an issue is of importance to all horse and livestock owners!

The NAIS business plan was made to benefit corporate ag so they can sell meat on the global market, like to Japan. I have nothing against that. But, because I own a horse, I have been included, against my will, in a business (the word “partnership” has been used by the USDA, so I guess now makes us partners) that I want nothing to do with, yet I will be expected to fund and follow rules, (in which I had no input) that I think are unfair, burdensome and go against my constitutional rights and on top of everything, I will receive absolutely none of the profits that big ag makes.
The REAL REASON for NAIS is so big ag can sell on the global market, but they do not have to tag and track every animal, they get just one lot number per groups of animals.
This program will make it appear to foreign buyers that the USA has a good disease tracking program that makes it look like the meat they are buying is safe. But how does my telling the govt everywhere I ride my horse keep bird flu ( or mad cow disease from the factory farmed animals? Crazy, isn’t it?
I have concerns about this too. For those of us that travel with our horses this sounds like a really bad nightmare to me. If the people with cows are getting into such big trouble after selling a cow and making paperwork errors, imagine what it will be like for horse owners who could have to file paperwork everytime they haul a horse. I’d probably end of in jail.
