There are a lot of farms where I live any all of them are still farming without incident.
Washington, D.C. – In a formal letter issued Monday, Nov. 10, 2008, R-CALF USA has requested that the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA’s) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service-Veterinary Services (APHIS-VS) immediate retract Memorandum No. 575.19 issued on Sept. 22, 2008, on the grounds that the memo “constitutes an unlawful, final regulatory action initiated and implemented without public notice or opportunity for comment, as required by the Administrative Procedure Act.”....
“The effect of this memo is that premises registration under NAIS (National Animal Identification System) is now mandatory for producers engaged in interstate commerce and who participate in any one of the dozen or more regulated disease programs, despite APHIS’ express promise to the industry and to Congress that NAIS would remain a voluntary system,” said R-CALF USA President/Region VI Director Max Thornsberry, a Missouri veterinarian who also chairs the group’s animal health committee. This memo declares that the Premises Identification Number (PIN) established under the agency’s NAIS “is to be the sole and standard location identifier for all VS program activities,” and that premises “will be registered in the NAIS.” nonais.org... and at r calf www.r-calfusa.com...
“If the person responsible for the premises chooses not to complete the form to register his/her premises, either the animal health official or an accredited veterinarian will collect the defined data fields.” (page 2, Section III.B.2)
The memo applies to federal animal health authorities, state animal health authorities, and private veterinarians who are accredited for federally regulated diseases (page 1, Section I)
Any veterinarian who is accredited for a federally regulated disease is subject to the USDA’s edict to involuntarily register his or her clients:
“A PIN is required for activities performed at a premises by a State or Federal animal health authority or an accredited veterinarian for any disease that is regulated through Title 9 of the Code of Federal Regulations.” (page 4)
I read the new memo from the USDA and found something that was curious. There will be a code in each PIN to indicate whether it was a premise registered voluntarily or involuntarily. What are they up to with that?....
” There will be a code in each PIN to indicate whether it was a premise registered voluntarily or involuntarily” where can this memo be found? ......
Memo found at. esbee.newsvine.com...
III.B.2 (which states you will be given a number regardless of your wishes)
III.C. (which states that the PIN enrollment code will “differentiate them” from PINs issued as a result of voluntary NAIS registration.
III.C.1. (Which states that all PINS gathered in III.C. will be included in the Premises RSSR)

Well that settles it. This spring I'm going to plant a garden and I WON'T be removing it. We'll see what happens.

Not one time was I "hardened" to kill women, or children in bootcamp. As a matter of fact at the MCRD in San Diego drill instructors aren't allowed to even say the word kill. That's not even a joke.. The whole "KILL KILL KILL" thing has been replaced with "DRILL DRILL DRILL," because that's pretty much all you do when your there. As a matter of fact you go through very extensive classes on other deadly force means. The drill instructors aren't getting you ready to slay American woman and children, PROMISE!
