I guess they weren't getting the answers they wanted. I also went to the sight to answer the survey and it was closed. I guess they weren’t getting the answers they wanted.

Something smells funny about this. When I clicked on the link today, it said the survey was closed. Something smells funny about this.

The paperwork I received hadn't changed either. I even checked with the PA NAIS coordinator before I pulled them. I will check again this year. Wouldn't I have been sent a number if I had been enrolled? After all, what good is a PIN if the landowner doesn't know it? I pulled some Coggins last year and to my knowledge, no PIN was issued.

After all, what good is a PIN if the landowner doesn’t know it?

The USDA has gone a head with the ruling that required all animals getting particular blood tests to be enrolled and their owners get a PIN even if they didn't want one. There was a recent article in "The Western Shooting Horse" magazine titled a Global solution to health certs that discusses NAIS as positive and needed. And one paragraph goes like this. "if you have had a Coggins test done in the past year you are already required to have a PIN. If you have not applied for one, the USDA will assign one to your address." Mandatory NAIS is here and lurking in the back ground. How many people have been enrolled against their will in the past year? How many people even know about it?

I'm normally on Ann Swinker's email list, but I wasn't notified about this survey which is a rerun of the previous one they did. I tried the password I used last time and it worked. It is PSUHORSE. The survey currently has 50% opposed to NAIS, 23% in favor and 28% neutral or unsure. I'll pass this link around, and we'll tell them the same thing we told them last time that they ignored in the Cost Benefit Analysis. Hmmmm.
