In the news:

A Cumberland, Wis., man pleaded no contest and was found guilty Tuesday of violating Wisconsin’s premises registration law, after being granted a new trial in Polk County Circuit Court. Patrick Monchilovich, 39, declined the court’s offer to allow him to register his premises rather than pay a $390 penalty, and reserved his right to appeal.
:
“The vast majority of Wisconsin’s livestock producers have registered their premises; about 60,000 to date,” Wisconsin State Veterinarian Robert Ehlenfeldt says. “We have a minority who have not registered, whether for religious reasons, anti-government sentiment, or whatever other reason.

Gee… He equates religious freedom and anti-government sentiment “or whatever”. Is he trying to call us terrorists? Notice the manipulation of language. Standard fascist behavior. From there our Learless Feeder Herr Ehlenfeldt goes on to say:

“But this law came about because our animal agriculture producers asked for it.”
-Dairy Network

HUH!?! No, we did not ask for it. It is being forced upon us. Comments in the Federal Registry about the USDA’s proposed National Animal Identification System (NAIS) run overwhelmingly against the program. Speakers at the listening sessions across the nation were almost unanimously against NAIS. Farmers and consumers in national independent polls are 92% against NAIS. We did not ask for it. We keep saying No! but they keep forcing it on us. What is wrong with Wisconsion’s government, Department of Agriculture and their state vet? Deaf as dung?

What part of the word “No!” do they not understand? NAIS is not about protection animal health. It is not about protecting our food quality. It is not about food safety. The USDA has stated this in writing. NAIS is not about the American consumer nor is it for small farmers. NAIS is about protecting the profits of Big Ag and they get to be excused from the tagging and tracking. It is a marketing scheme paid for by the American Tax Payer for the benefit of Big Corporations. As small farmers, we already know where our livestock are. It is Big Ag who can’t keep track of their asses.

The time has come to to stop the rape of American farmers by Government Agricultural Regulatory Bureaucrats And Global Exploiters (GARBAGE).

No means No.
Not Now.
Not Ever.
