ArticlesVilsack’s NAIS "Listening Sessions" Avoid Hotbed States (WI, MO, MI) (PDF) © 2009 The Milkweed, Brooklyn, Wisconsin. All rights reserved. Reprinted by permission. In April 2009 our new Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack held a "NAIS Roundtable" to kick off a national discussion of the "problems" with NAIS, to be followed by NAIS "Listening Sessions" to be held around the country. Still clueless, the NAIS staff proceeded to schedule the "listening sessions" on short notice, in the midst of a busy planting season, and avoiding the areas that are hotbeds of NAIS resistance. Microchips, Cancer, and Animal Identification (PDF) © 2009 The Milkweed, Brooklyn, Wisconsin. All rights reserved. Reprinted by permission. Most livestock owners think that the ideas underlying the National Animal Identification System are just plain dumb. One of the dumbest is the USDA’s continued insistence that all horses should be identified with implanted microchips - despite substantial evidence that the chips may cause cancers in laboratory animals and dogs. Government Livestock Tracking and the Global Rural Minority (PDF) Government central livestock registration and tracking systems, first conceived by the European Union in the 1990s, have spread to other highly developed nations through relentless promotion by global meat and dairy companies and the technology firms who supply the mandated equipment. Now the globalists and dominant governments are poised to force the system upon the developing world. The World Animal Health Organisation/Organisation Mondiale de la Sante Animale (OIE) sponsored a March 2009 meeting in Buenos Aires to promote such systems. These systems are devastating to the small-scale independent ownership of livestock. Governments and organizations dedicated to the preservation of rural cultures and peoples must resist the unjust imposition of these animal registration systems. |
