National Animal Identification System....

Nope, as of Spring 2011, it hasn't gone away! For the latest information, go to www.farmandranchfreedom.org...

Aunt Penny hopes you will help her avoid the dreaded "bracelet." It likely won't match her plumage!

ATTENTION all owners of livestock. Please write your state and national congresspersons to make the National Animal Identification Plan "voluntary," so that small farmers and backyard farmers won't have to register their properties and their animals with the USDA. To facilitate selling meat to Japan, USDA desires to implement a new electronic tracking system (beyond the systems already in place), as soon as possible, to be able to locate every single livestock animal in America. The National Animal Identification System (NAIS) envisions a "National Herd" and a "National Flock." Your animals will be "theirs." Full compliance is the goal.

The plan has three stages--

(1)National Registration of Every Premises where livestock animals are kept. This includes you who has 2 pet chickens, or you who owns one horse, as well as farmers and ranchers. Included in this first stage is GLOBAL POSITIONING SATELLITE Co-ordinates of YOUR PROPERTY -- YOUR FARM OR YOUR BACKYARD, so that inspectors will be able to find the animals in case of disease outbreak ("depopulation" of your healthy animals would likely be necessary, without testing) or of owner disobedience. Non-compliance results in penalty (Fines of up to $1000/per day are possible, plus criminal penalties.)
(2)Animal Identification Numbers. Each animal will be tagged with a RFID device that will have a unique number -- chips in the ear, tags, leg bands which can be scanned by a "reader gun" to access information. Non-compliance results in penalties.
(3)Tracking of All Animals. The animal owner will be responsible for reporting to USDA every event in the animal's life: birth, illness, death, transfer off-premises, return to premises -- within 24 hours of the event. Non-compliance results in penalties.

Several Constitutional violations occur with this mandatory system (right of privacy, right to personal property, religious freedom), and no one yet can explain the COSTS, which are mandated to be paid by all the animal owners ("the producers.")

The mountain of paperwork and the fees and fines threaten all small animal farmers, but will be minimal for the corporate concentration camp "farms," whose thousands of animals and birds will be identified with only one number, as they are treated as "lots." (Or, "widgets.")

Eventually this harrassment of small producers will lead to centralized unhealthy food sources (no more local eggs and meat, not even from your own backyard.)

All Americans who EAT and value FREEDOM are affected.

What can you do? Write, call every legislator in your state; legislators in Washington, and the USDA. This tyrannical tax grab program should be (1) Terminated, (2) Voluntary, or (3) Applicable ONLY to LARGE producers/"Factory Farms." Please write, as together, we can get this fixed or at least delayed (maybe they'll wake up!)
