Required RFID chips in all animals in U.S.

What do you all think of this? Here is a link to site called "StopanimalID.org" which I just found out about.

Apparantly, there is legislation planned to make you insert microchips into EVERY animal unit owned within the United States, so the Government can track movement of everything "for our safety".

If an animal dies, you have to explain what happened to them (since the chip stops moving around)

So not only is Big Brother watching us, they want to watch our goats, horses, and cattle also.

i don't mind explaining how ol' bessy's leg got hurt and i took her out back and put 'er down. I do mind them cutting her open to put electronics in her. Actually, if i found an RFID chip in my animals, i would have to explain to them that is why i put her down.
 
It isn't every animal, just livestock animals.

I'd be interested in reading the actual plan, since free range states aren't compatible with this, and I doubt the planners forgot about them.



Meet animals are already regulated. This is another form of regulation, and given the problems of some of the new wasting diseases, this may be wise to allow the tracking and control of diseased populations before they get to the butchers.
 
Handy, that is not correct. First, if you will go to the site, you will see they are talking about EVERY ANIMAL owned.
Secondly, meat animals are not microchipped currently. I know, because I raise Boer Spanish goat crosses, and have for years hauled them to the sale in Fredericksburg Texas, and sold them through the sale barn, and not one of them was microchipped.
In fact, I don't know any rancher at all, that puts chips in livestock.
But these guys are talking about mandatory chips in your dog, your horse, your cat, and every animal you own.
Go to the site and ivestigate for yourself. (Please, you will be astounded)

It is not a wise idea, as it will not control disease. But it will control you and your actions. You won't think it is a good idea, when they start charging $ 1,500.00 per chip for your dog or cat.

Another thing on RFID chips. In Texas, for the Trans Texas Corridor, one of the scams they tried but got voted down, was an RFID chip in your state inspection sticker. Then, between ID stations, they could measure your speed and send you a ticket if you went from point A to point B, faster than they wanted on the toll way.
 
According to the website:

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.

Livestock animals only, correct?
 
I personally think voluntary microchipping (passive chip) of animals for ID purposes is the greatest thing since ice cream. My dog is 'chipped. If she were ever to get loose, it more than doubles the chances of me getting her back again. Here, vets and shelters are required to scan all incoming animals.

These, however, are passive, and only cost about $35. And although I wish everyone would chip their animals, the idea that gubberment says YOU WILL chip them really pi**es me off... again :mad: .

RFID chips are (I think) not passive, and constantly emit an RF signal. They're a LOT more expensive than passive ID chips, and a rancher with several hundred or more head of cattle would go bankrupt trying to do it.

Then there's the controversy over the RF signal itself. No one knows for sure, but it's been theorized that constant exposure to RF can cause cancer. That may not make a difference with livestock going to market, but my horse (who is as much family as my dog) may live 30 or more years, and I won't take that chance.

I also think that enforcement of such a law would be next to impossible. Maybe they could make the huge factory farms like King Ranch do it, but to go to every mom & pop farm that has one or two horses and a cow? Ain't gonna happen.
 
The vast majority of discussions about RFIDs deal with passive (unpowered) varieties, because they're cheaper, smaller, and don't have to have batteries replaced every few years (which probably means replacing the entire tag... I don't know how many powered RFID chips have replaceable batteries).
 
Hmmm. So then they set up monitoring stations/towers/whatever to keep track of the animals for us? "Help, I lost my dog", etc. - how convenient!

Then it will be the child molesters that get the chips - everybody hates them! Easy to just use the animal tracking towers to make sure they aren't near a school zone.

Then come convicted felons, then children (for safety from abductions). Then it will be optional for everyone else, kinda like driver's license is today...

OK, I will go put my tinfoil hat back on now, but it does seem to have potential for abuse, does it not?

The powered ones are about the size of a grain of white rice. IIRC, they are powered by something in the body - no batteries to change. They also (supposedly) have tiny chips that have micro-concentrated doses of medications in grids of tiny dots, each covered with a super thin layer of gold. Electrical current melts the gold, releasing the medication one dose at a time, according to the schedule. Tie that to the ID chip and all you have to do is push a button, the satellite sends the signal...nite, nite.

Oh crap, where did I leave that hat this time?:D

The entire idea, is to make it impossible for the small rancher to survive so all your livestock will be factory farmed.

Laugh all you want about tin hats, but currently, genetic altering has allowed the manufacturing of a pig that glows in the dark.

Then they wanted to put chips in your vehicle inspection sticker in Texas, and although it failed the first time, it is coming.

Then they can track you anywhere you wish to go. It goes along with the fingerprint scanning, rather than fingerprint idea.

A scanned fingerprint, an offset printing blanket and plate, and oil, can be used to place your fingerprint at a crime scene, any time someone wants to do it. All you need to do, is hack off someone, and your fingerprint (if your prints have been scanned for your driver's license) can be available.

There are cameras everywhere you go, and a National ID card coming in 2008 (already passed) and now they want you to put a chip in every animal you own, and genetically altering pigs so they will glow in the dark (for some unknown reason that I can't figure out)

I'm going to get me a whole roll of Aluminum Foil. See you later.
 
Gary,

Find a better source for pending legislation. Nobody with one ounce of brains would think that every animal in the U.S. would be targets for microchips. That's silly, and it's bad information.
 
Gary, I said "regulated", not "chipped". I just meant that there is already a lot of regulation and inspection dealing with livestock, and this would just be another kind.

And it is livestock, as we can all read from the website you posted.
 
Even in rodents? I can see large pets like cats, dogs and farm animals. If they chip rodents then thats nothing but a waste of tax payer's money.
 
Mr. Rivers:

Gee, thanks for the advice. I'll go and see if I can find half a brain to use.

Maybe I can get it from one of those human clones that scientists are not trying to develop.
