I own a small (25acre) horse farm in WNY, about two years ago I received a notification in the mail, from the dept of Agriculture, persuant to the Dept. of Homeland Security directive xxxxxoooxxx. All animals both domesticated and resource IE; beef cattle, milking cows etc..are asked to voluntarily be inoculated with a govt. sponsored radio tracking system tag. Along with the tagging sysytem notification must be made before animals are taken from said premises. although this program is voluntary for now it will become mandated by 2010. I'm sure all you pet owners out there will be hearing more and more about this. The jist of it is that the feds wanna know what animals you have, where you have them, and they want you to ask their permission before taking them away from the registered homesite. Now If their plans are to control our animals to this extant then how much more control do ya think they plan for us dangerous rebellious thinking human citizens ? I know ya'll are worried that we're being monitored here and your right. I know, but I don't worry cause I am already monitored all the time due to prior work history with fed. govt. I'm allways amazed at the number of people who are walking around in a fog, not realizing the losses of freedoms that have and are being implemented as we speak. there's only a few of us who are wide awake with our jaws open wide in total amazment at what we see taking place all around us.
