been hearing for the past 2 years about old horse slaughter facilities opening back up, Also had heard how new slaughter laws were enabled, like the ones that make it legal now to buy hundereds of discarded mustangs. Well the NAIS will make it financially harder to rescue , because rather than chip and report a hundred or hundreds of horses available for adoption, now, with NAIS one "lot " number will be much easier. now pony skin, for purses and boots, horse meat for europe and japan , thats where the money will be. Lots of horse registries are aware of how NAIS will make "grade" horses not as "worth it " so, they support NAIS, but then again they also support slaughter. Ask them . ASK the AQHA if they support the NAIS. ask them if they are for slaughter . they wont answer you unless you really press them. all the NAIS action will make trail rides vet visits breeding and showing a nightmare. and how will you feel when the local vets decide your animals need what shots they decide, or what de-wormers to use, or your horses will be labeled a risk to public health. loose horse? you have to report it ! someone elses loose horse runs to your farm? every animal it contacts , thats YOUR expense and reports for all of your animals. heard how you wont have to report if you dont leave your own property?
dont bring home a new hen or ram, thats livestock, in contact with livestock . All animals that contact the new critter , each will be a report.
so while Japan eats your fancy saddle horse, dont pretend that microchip kept your horse from being stolen, they just toss those chips into a bucket , and sell them to try to subvert the system . after all, before the new un counterfeitable 20$ bills were dry, fakes were already circulating .
who knows, maybe that distance reading rfid chip reader will be able to help that horse thief know right where to go to find all the local horses. the GPS map will help for sure!

Thanks for opening the eyes of many unsuspecting horse/livestock owners.
NAIS though called voluntary is any thing but.... RFD-TV aired a show called Monday Night Live where Bruce Knight and others were selling their snake-oil version of NAIS-(the word NAIS was avoided) stressing that this program would be voluntary...
BUT the latest truth is that vets will be told to enroll those who refuse to sign up for NAIS when they get vaccinations/EIA tests for their horses.
You can also go to nonais.org for the latest info on NAIS.
But the best way to fight is to call those elected officials that your vote put into office and tell them you do not want NAIS and your vote can un-elect them.
Even they think NAIS is about disease tracking/control. NAIS is a business plan for coporate ag but we have been included to do all the dirty work of tagging and tracking and paying for it.
