Tell the USDA I Oppose the National Animal ID System
I pledge to...
<a href="http://lavidalocavore.org/showDiary.do?diaryId=1034">Go here to read more about NAIS and find out how to send comments to the USDA</a>. This costly program would make it difficult to keep and transport even horses, and would make small-scale farming prohibitively expensive. National Animal ID is a gift to the factory farming industry, because it would effectively destroy competition from small livestock operations. The USDA will be accepting comments until March 16, 2009.<br /><br />Please take the time to write a personalized version of the letter if you can, because duplicates are usually ignored - be heard! Ten unique letters are worth more than a thousand identical letters :)
