[QUOTE="maesy, post: 335216, member: 5743"] I'm gonna have to agreee w/Sir Loin I don't think anybody has presented a real good reason for NAIS...besides compliance... I read somewhere in a previous message about pseudorabies in hogs which reminded me of a case here in Virginia when the big an all knowing responsible gov't came in an slaughtered an entire herd because some of the hogs [i]might've[/i] been infected. No tests were verified, the owners were never allowed to conduct thier own tests, and not a hog was quarantined-the government just went in and totally wiped out the hogs, for no real reason. The family had to listen to their livelihood be shot down on their property. a bit of additional info - A pig with psuedorabies will abort the fetal piglets..the owners had dozens of piglets running around...how could there be a massive outbreak of psuedorabies if there were piglets? I don't know about yall but the USDA don't seem to know much about this stuff, and for pete's sake they can't even keep spinach safe...how can they keep beef safe? unintended consequences: - the large companies will absorb the costs of NAIS and premise ID and smaller producers won't; big companies will dominate the market and there will be consolidation in the food market. Grain farmers who raise a few cattle a year won't be able to absorb the costs either - People and Parents won't deal w/government red tape. Think of all the kids who will lose an opportunity in 4-h or to ride the old neighbors pony (NAIS is coming for your horses and hogs too). - Family farms will be continue to be sold and developed because of the high costs of ID along with the other costs of fuel and taxes. The Government has used the guise of preventing bioterrorism to promote NAIS, but think of the possiblities presented to a enemy hacker...all of the nation's agricultural info on a database... my email is [email=cmb2812@email.vccs.edu]cmb2812@email.vccs.edu[/email] I've got a powerpoint and more links concerning NAIS and the RFID programs [url=http://farmandranchfreedom.org/content/]http://farmandranchfreedom.org/content/[/url] [url=http://www.freetofarm.com/]http://www.freetofarm.com/[/url] [/QUOTE]
