Dear horse friends,
I hadn’t really paid much attention to this issue until now. You
might choose to micro-chip your animals for their safety and recovery
in the event they are stolen or lost but this forced micro-chipping seems
wrong. Check it out and take action if you are concerned. The U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) is currently in the process of implementing the
National Animal Identification System (NAIS) through the States. NAIS
is designed to identify all livestock animals and poultry and track their
movements. When the program is fully implemented, the USDA claims that
the NAIS will be able to identify all premises on which animals and poultry
are located, and all animals that have had contact with a disease of concern,
within 48 hours of discovery. In reality, the NAIS threatens sustainable
and small-scale farmers and ranchers, while accelerating the consolidation
of the farm sector and boosting factory farms. The NAIS creates expensive
and time-consuming tagging and reporting requirements for small farms
and anyone who owns even just one horse, pet goat, or pot-bellied pig.
