New Group Against NAIS

I received this press release today from the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance, a new organization seeking to stop the USDA's National Animal Identification System and to act further---after this disaster is averted---on behalf of small farmers and private ranchers.

To see the need and for a taste of the NAIS-brand of government service, note this snippet from the press release:

"...NAIS poses a serious threat to all farmers, ranchers, livestock owners, and companion-animal owners, whether they are organic or conventional, small or large, involved with animals for business or for pleasure. Across the country, every person with even one horse, cow, chicken, pig, goat, sheep, exotic animal or virtually any other livestock animal on their premises, will be required to register their homes and property into a database and subject their property and animals to government surveillance."
Is it just me, or did we all suddenly move to China?
