Premises ID & NAIS Killed in Vermont

Mandatory Premises ID registration and the USDA's proposed National Animal Identification System (NAIS) are dead in Vermont! See this article for more details:

http://nonais.org/index.php/2006/08/...ses-id-killed/

In a nutshell, which is where these programs belongs, the Vermont Agency of Agriculture (AoA) has finally heard the enormous protest against the program and said they are letting the proposal for mandatory Premises ID expire and will not share information with the feds thus killing NAIS at the same time.

It is unnecessary to violate our rights and privacy in order to control animal disease. The government should focus on education and being polite. The VT AoA is one 800 lb guerilla that just learned it can't sit anywhere it pleases.

Cheers!

Unfortunately, WI already voted premises registration in. Imagine my surprise when I found out I was breaking the law! er, AM breaking the law, since I still haven't signed up.

AFAIK, there was nothing in the news, nothing in the paper, and I know there was nothing in our mailbox, so it's just dumb luck that I found out about it. Right now it's free to register but a woman at the feed bin told me there's a movement afoot to start charging. How can they charge people to do something they don't even know they're supposed to do?!

Whatever, I'm not doing it until they knock on my door. And maybe not even then.

Ducks, what ducks??? Those are just overgrown, friendly starlings! Ohio hasn't even said which way they are going to go but they are calling for manditory registration and premis id for anyone wishing to show livestock at any fairs or other public venues. Mom found out only by speaking to one fair official (Preble County) who was on a committee to help implement the NAIS regulations in Ohio. Half or more of our govt officials have never even heard of NAIS.
