National Animal ID System
by Ridge Shinn
There has been a lot of discussion about the USDA’s proposed National Animal Identification System as a way for both producers and officials to respond quickly when there is a foreign animal disease outbreak. The controversy concerns the intent and the implementation of such a program. This program is ambitious and involves the enormous task of inserting a radio frequency ear tag into all animals including chickens.
Recently in a speech touching on this issue, Joel Salatin (www.polyfacefarm.com) commented that in light of the fact that our government seems to be struggling with controlling illegal immigration, how can they think they can possibly implement a program of this scale? The federal government has already back-peddled from the position of making this program mandatory and is leaving it to the states to implement or not.
At the recent Acres USA conference (www.acresusa.com) Chuck Walters, the grand old man of eco-agriculture, encouraged all of us to circulate his recent article entitled "Mark of the Beast." Here we present the 4-page PDF version.
