NAIS doesn't work as precieved.
When a cow was discovered in Washington State in 2003 that had BSE (mad cow disease) and another cow with the same disease was found in Canada, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Canadian government began developing the numbering system. In 2004, the USDA developed the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). The NAIS followed the model of other countries in Europe by including three basic elements, which are premise identification, animal identification and eventually movement tracking.

No security in the NAIS system.

"The federal law states this is voluntary and they have to allow exemptions," Brothun said. "The number is a federally-issued number and the state is taking $1.7 million from the federal government to implement this."







Why is the USDA spending this kind of money on a packer pet project when they have a MCOOL law on the books they are not enforcing?

The USDA budget needs to be scrutinized line by line so they have no discretion on spending taxpayer money any way they (and their packer friends) want to.

This is outrageous!!!
