Stop the NAIS!

STOP the NAIS.....

The USDA plans to make every owner of even one horse, cow, pig, goat, sheep, chicken, or pigeon register in a government database and subject their property and animals to constant federal and state government surveillance, and the animal owner will have to PAY for the privilege of owning animals!

To learn more about the ramifications of this Government decree and how it will affect everyone, not just farmers and animal owners, navigate our site and visit our forum.

The National Animal Identification System (NAIS) is a national program to identify and track livestock animals, including poultry, horses, cattle, goats and sheep for the purpose of disease containment. NAIS plans to use RFID and GPS technology to track animals, and requires every farm or “premises” be registered with government agencies, even if that premises houses a single animal. While NAIS’s purported goal of disease containment appears to be beneficial, the requirement for American citizens to register privately-owned property for tracking and monitoring purposes has very serious implications for our privacy, rights and freedoms.

StopAnimalID.org is the online manifestation of a grass roots refusal to submit to the latest grasping for control of what was once a government of We The People, but has now become a government of Them, The Agri-Conglomerates. This website is a means for like-minded individuals to band together and discover they are not alone in opposing this abuse of privacy and property rights.

Our agenda, perhaps obviously enough, is to stop the National Animal Identification System. We hope to do this by first raising awareness among the public. To do this we will compile a wealth of data regarding the NAIS in an easy to peruse format online. We will also provide printable materials to put the basics of this issue and what it means into places where it will count most, such as feedstores, farm supply stores, farm auctions, etc.

Secondly, we will facilitate communication and interaction via our forum, email and contact lists. We will seek to build an online community where like-minded individuals can go to review current events, their current personal and group tactics and actions and analyze both our successes and defeats.

Finally, we will provide the information needed to effectively combat the juggernaut that is the NAIS, which bears down on us. From editorials to links to analysis of the law and meetings and public hearings. We will seek to publicize the names and addresses of people in positions that make them important to contact. We will push this data into as many hands as we possibly can and fight this issue at the grass roots, online and if needed eventually in the courts.

But to succeed StopAnimalID.org needs the particpation of every single Citizen of these United States who still values freedom and the use of their private and personal property, not to mention their own privacy. Whether you own livestock or not your help is needed. We must have your participation, contribution and effort to succeed in spreading the word, raising consciousness and empowering this movement. Join the fight today. This may be one of the biggest issues of your life.

Stop animal id???? If we don't have a system to track animals, how will a BSE animal be tracked to determine the cause of the infection. If/when fmd occurs in the U.S., how do you propose to contain it without a way to id the animals????

Good post, rk. People don't even think about FMD. If we're not prepared to act quickly to stop it, it could very easily put all of us out of business when we have to confront it.

A tag in the ear won't prevent a disease or its spread...Strong safeguards on where we import from will...But USDA must not really have a disease concern since they have and/or are opening imports of beef from high risk BSE countries like Japan and Canada, high risk FMD countries like Chile and chicken from a very high risk Avian flu area like Communist China-- but it also so happens that Tyson has corporate interests and ownings in those countries :???:

I'm not against an ID system- BUT-The disease argument is a farce.....

I don't know about the best way, but it seems like animal id is a must. Our food chain must have the confidence of the consumer, domestic and abroad. If not BSE or FMD, sooner or later it will be something else. We need to be able to track animals when there is a health concern, just like many other food products are traced when a health concern arises. If it's traceable, there is a good chance it can be contained before it becomes a major impact. If it's not traceable, the uncertainty alone can wreck our industry, or allow the unnecessary spread of disease.

Ot well you think it may not prevented..It sure as hell will find where the animals involved were and where they have been.I quess you don,t have T.B to worry about down there..either..Without an I.d program how do you even know you got them all in an outbreak.

I.M.O...Without an National I.D program in Canada they would be exporting to nobody
