Re [AT] Livestock ID (census)

[Brett Phillips]

    I don't generally consider myself to be a radical, but this scheme 
really strikes a nerve with me.  I'm afraid I may end up on the wrong side 
of the law if this goes through.
    Has anyone thought about the Amish and other plain sects?  I dare say 
they are not going to call Uncle Sam every time they go to town or church 
with Dobbin...  I believe they also have some strong beliefs about marking 
God's creatures.  Of course, the same beliefs require them to stay out of 
politics for the most part.
    Also, has anyone pointed out that several of the original writers and 
proponents of this mess are manufacturers of the soon to be required 
electronic I.D. devices?  Somebody stands to make a bundle, and it sure 
won't be the farmer, just the same monkeys who are on his back now.  Big 
Agribidness, and all of their cronies, that's who.
    This is not yet a done deal, and there is still time to point it out for 
the rat that it is.  From what I've gathered, there is to be a comment 
period sometime in June or July, and we can only hope that the system still 
works.  More info at:  http://stopanimalid.org/

Sorry for the rant.
