Yet when Creekstone Beef wanted to test every cow they process for BSE, the USDA says they cannot!!! Creekstone had to take the USDA to court to sue for the right to test for BSE! And what does my reporting to the USDA when I take my horse off my property have to do with big ag selling beef to Japan? There are already disease protocols in place and they work. NAIS tracking stops at time of slaughter which is when many food safety issues occur by mishandling the meat. Imagine a government program that will track a certain segment of society closer than illegals, drug dealers or child molesters. Not since 1938, when NAZI Germany required all Jews to register their homes and property, will this one segment be so closely monitored by registering their premises, microchipping their property and filing reports when that property leaves the premises...all for the benefit of certain corporations so they can sell globally...This group will be criminalized without even committing a crime. I am am one of that certain segment of society that will be under this very intrusive program just because I own, wait for it, a horse!!!! And telling the govt everywhere i go with my horse will ensure the Japanese are eating safe American beef!!! The USDA claimed a reason for NAIS was to track and prevent mad cow disease.

NAIS is NOT a food safety plan. Even USDA admitted that in their 2006 User Guide. NAIS disproportionately affects small farms which are not part of the industrial food chain. NAIS allows big business to continue their current practices while putting their local competitors out of business. Be prepared for even more recalls if NAIS becomes mandatory.
