Want to not have to RFID your pets? (w/ poll)

Much less have small farmers up against the wall, forced to RFID their livestock, while AgriBusiness gets off with a single group/lot ID number for  hundreds of animals?

You have a little over 24 hours to provide your comments in opposition to the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) to the House Committee on Agriculture for next year's farm bill.  Pretty simple form, surprisingly enough.  Deadline is 31 December 2006.

Here's some additonal information on how this will cost small farmers, and eventually pet owners, but makes it easy & cheap for big corporate farms.

Over a month ago, Blue Dog State wrote up a nice little rant on this subject.

And of course, the esteemed OrangeClouds115 wrote up a well-researched piece, back in October: VMD - No Chicken Left Behind.

Please consider sharing your thoughts with the House Committee on Agriculture, while the door is still open.
