Don't forget, all the animals not covered under NAIS, is picked up by PAWS.

A better idea would be to tag all government employees and politicians so we could track them...you know, see how much time they spend on the job, who they are meeting with, who they take bribes from. I think that would be very helpful to the voters in future elections.

Mad Cow---
How many beef animals are there in the USA?
There have been 3 THREE reported cases of Mad Cow, and one of those was a FALSE POSITIVE.

My horse, dog, cat, hamster, etc., are NOT food animals in the USA. Requiring everyone to comply with this is insanity.
Convicted sex offenders are not kept track of. They are far more dangerous than me riding my horse for a couple of hours off my property.
With this "regulation", I would have to take a PHOTO ID of the UPS driver and report within 24 hours that he/she had been on and off my property. How's that fit your life????

They're repeating too many guests without any new information or new topics.

I've been pretty selective lately, recording just the first hour. Even Art, repeating with Strega Nona last Sunday.

But that's the nature of radio. Not everybody hears it the first 100 times.

I've been neglecting Limbaugh too, since he's on a stealth marketing kick with his podcasts as of late.

So I take it you absolutey 100% support the NAIS and see nothing wrong with it?

That it should be shoved down the throat of a Free People?

That it's not the People of the Country that own these farms and animals, that it's the Government?

This is one of the many fronts in CW2

This Bolshevik Law should be challenged in court and taken all the way to the supremes.

Failing that there needs to be a change of government.

So, this is part of a treaty?

Imagine the impact this stupid requirement will have on the local county fair and 4-H exhibition!There could be nothing more discouraging and detrimental to future farmers than a monolithic animal control program that detracts from the time needed to successfully operate a farm.
Bureaucrats seem to think that farming is a 8-5 job.

Our government can't even control illegal immigration, so instead they choose to impose more regulation on it's citizens, their private property, and their livelihood.

I listened to the C2C program for as long as I could stay awake. Accepting this kind of regulation is sheer madness.

[o_zarkman44]

The one big reason this is happening is that monsanto and tyson and similar corporations want to control the food chain exclusively. Monsanto has their genetically engineered seeds that have cross pollinated non engineered seedstock. They then claim the non owned seedstock as their own because it inherited characteristics of it's patented process.
Corporate control of the food chain allows financial control of the product. Look what has happened to the price of gasoline when the supply is limited to a handful of suppliers.

This could also be considered eminent domain by proxy. The dept of agriculture is zoning farmland in an attempt to eliminate the marginal producer. It happened with dairy farms 20 or 30 years ago with the imposition of regulations that made it unprofitable to continue production. This same process is now being attempted to livestock producers. Since farms and ranches are a small segment of the population and the economy the government believes they are easy to manipulate.

Control immigration and importation. America can sufficiently support it's self and manage the food chain just fine under current rules. Back off big brother! Coming next. Regulating gardens and farmers produce markets.

"January 2009 -- Required reporting of all animal movements enforced"

I think enough people are going to put up a fuss about this that it won't happen and it will be challenged at the SCOTUS level.

If not, December 31, 2008 becomes Butchering Day at my farm. Screw 'em. I'm not turning over my laying hens to the Government.

(This was one of the best articles I've read on this subject, BTW. Thanks for sharing.)

Thank you kindly, Diana.
