ACT NOW TO PREVENT PRO-NAIS REGULATIONS IN KENTUCKY!

Very soon, the State Vet's office at the KY Department of Agriculture will submit new regulations concerning animal identification, movement and health status of all livestock. In the last CFA NEWS, we reported that after CFA testified at the public hearing and submitted written comments, KDA had withdrawn the proposed NAIS regulations for Kentucky. Now, KDA and the State Vet’s Office have decided to resubmit regulations similar to the NAIS program for Kentucky.

Once the revised set of regulations are filed, there will be a thirty day comment period and a public hearing sponsored by KDA to hear public input on these regulations. CFA members disagree with the proposed regulations and see them as an attempt to ease Kentucky into the NAIS program, and will resubmit written comments explaining this position and testify at the public hearing in opposition. CFA requested that KDA publicize the new regulations as well as information related to the comment period and public hearing by sending a press release to county papers across the state.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Join CFA Today and Help Us Stop NAIS! Several CFA members and producers across the state are concerned and have decided to hold house meetings and roundtable discussions about NAIS and these new regulations. If you would like to be a part of these discussions, or would like to host a house or barn party…
Contact Kaycie Len Carter at the Frankfort CFA office: Kayciecfa@bellsouth.net, or 502-223-3655

To read the new regulations, you may request a copy from the State Vet’s Office. Once the regulations have been filed, you may submit written comments on the regulations to prevent them from being approved.

I feel like any NAIS regulations would be as un-American as communism. I here that if NAIS gets passed that the next thing they would implement on us is RFID (radio frequency identification) Just look at what happened in europe after a NAIS type program was implemented there. I've even heard that this coming May 11, 2008 that legislation to have humans micro chipped in our hands will try to be passed. What's next? Folks this all seems like bible professies coming true to me. I oppose anything that threatens my rights as an american citizen. I oppose NAIS! I will not tolerate any more of my freedoms to become desolate. If we really ban together we can stop this madness.

NAIS can best be explained like this; though touted as a plan to track/protect us from animal disease, NAIS is a business plan designed by and for corporate ag and chip makers with the false mantra “to show the world what a safe food supply we have”. NAIS plans are to keep track on every livestock animal in the US EXCEPT the ones on the factory farms but those who own a few chickens or horses or llamas or pigs or other critters have to register their premises, microchip and file reports to the govt on every move those animals make BUT Big Ag gets ones lot number for their groups of animals and does not have to tag/track every critter...
Yet, NAIS tracibility ends at the moment the animal goes to slaughter, which is when most food safety issues occur. See nonais.org for more info.

I don’t usually reply to posts but I will in this case. I’ve been experiencing this very same problem with a new WordPress installation of mine. I’ve spent weeks calibrating and getting it ready when all of a sudden… I cannot delete any content. It’s a workaround that, although isn’t perfect, does the trick so thanks! I really hope this problem gets solved properly asap.
