[AT] Livestock ID

[Cecil Bearden]

Walt:
Ask about the penalties for non-compliance.  As I read it, if you do not 
comply, they can take condemn your herd without hearing, slaughter them all 
on site, send you the bill for their sevices. and fine you $100 per day for 
non-compliance.  this could be due to getting an additional animal on your 
place and not notifying the USDA within 48 hours.....

This is just the precursor to human ID...

A lot of it sounds like Naziism....under the pretense of the Patriot act....
