FEDS FOIST CHICKEN ID ON FRUSTRATED FARMERS
Exclusive
Times247 by: Katherine Timpf Friday, July 13, 2012
 

Voter ID has gotten large amounts of media attention, but residents of rural areas are concerned about another identification issue that has remained largely ignored: chicken ID.

If a chicken or cow takes a trip out of state, it had better have its papers.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's proposed rules for Animal Disease Traceability, developed in August 2011, are now in their final stages. They require identification of farm animals, such as poultry and cattle, that cross state lines.

Many farmers worry the rules would send them on a literal wild goose chase, forcing them to catch and hold down each bird to attach an identification tag.

This would be a daunting task for Karin Bergener of Freedom, Ohio, who owns more than 100 birds from different states.

More USDA Idiocy

They are definitely trying to suppress the yardbird vote with these ID requirements.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

I don't know, it's kind of dumb but I can sort of see the reasoning behind it.  We are having a problem with emerald ash borer partly due to people transporting infested wood across state lines.  If people are not smart enough to know to dispose of diseased livestock or plants, then I guess the government does have to step in.

There ya go.  How about contacting your congressman about my "T" shirt idea. I've got thousands of these things filling up my garage.
