I thought Canucks had told us that RFID tagging- and their National ID and the tag operation was a voluntary rancher organization ran operation....Now I see on Agri-Ville where the Canadian government is charging people with criminal acts and assessing fines for no or lost tags :???:

A Macroie SK rancher was served notice in early Sept by the CFIA of Notice of Violation of Section 176 of the Health of Animals Act under the Monetary Penalties Act
This was as a result of 7 cows out of and allotment of 29 that had did not have their RFID tags when they arrived at a community pasture in May. The rancher drove 100 miles to retreive tags and place them in the animals ears before they were turned out that day. Despite his efforts, he faces the probability of a $500 fine. He will be contesting this action by the CFIA. What do you think??
