Bills of sale. The Department added subsection (b) to this section. Subsection (b) addresses the in-State and out-of-State licensure provisions of the act. Subsection (b) notifies licensed kennel owners that it is a "violation of the act to purchase, accept, sell on behalf of or transport a dog from a kennel required to be, but not licensed under the provisions of the act." It provides an exception where the Department provides the kennel owner with written permission to accept dogs from an unlicensed kennel. How long before this little jot and tittle of a dog law gets into the “voluntary” part of NAIS? Those who have fallen into the NAIS snare would be outlawed from doing business with those of us who have not. From the PA dog law

As with any subject, education is the key to allowing individuals to be successful and accountable for their own lives. We need to put efforts into allowing our citizens to use what they know to make good buying decisions for themselves. NAIS is NOT the way to solve the pending problems of Avian flu. I raise and sell backyard chickens and eggs, goats and sheep, and NAIS will mean the end of my small but pleasurable operation. If only the media would spend as much time educating and telling people to buy locally as they do scaring people we would be a lot better off.

I have to agree, this is a blatent step toward government control of the people. I am glad to see people speaking out! Another great way to control masses is put them in poverty. People who can barely afford to live don't make waves...they are too busy trying to survive and hang on to the little they have. In my opinion, this is just wrong on the part of the Governemnt. I pay my income taxes, property taxes, sales tax, fuel tax, etc. etc. My animals are mine...the Feds need to keep out of my personal business! Sometimes the truth is not sweet!

This system is the mark of the beast, first for animals and then man and woman. I expect us to have chips too for identification. That is why they are encouraging or accelerating the illegal immigration problem through inaction and allowing it to free fall. Soon, they will declare the problem unmanageable "except" for the implantation of national ID chips in "citizens".
