I found out about this not too long ago. What I understand is, there was an uproar about it so it became voluntary, but they are not backing off permanently. There is going to be mandatory registration of premises and microchipping of animals eventually. From what I've read, it's 2009. Is this true?
At any rate, I stumbled on some web articles that reminded me how bad this NAIS thing is. And I can see they're trying to make NAIS socially acceptable by "reaching out" to schools. Another way to waste tax dollars in a manner unapproved by the taxpayers.
So now not only do you have to worry about gun grabbers, now it's livestock grabbers too. :barf: And no, IMO, their registration process is not acceptable in any of its forms.
If they were worried about bird flu for real, they'd be figuring out a way to control wild bird populations. There are probably 1,000 blackbirds outside today, and they want to force me to enter 6 chickens in their database?
This sounds like the same kind of reasoning used by gun control people. In other words, lies and distortions to achieve a political agenda that would wilt under scrutiny.
