I heard of someone who bought an (empty) stable, and a couple weeks later, someone dropped about 14(!) horses into it. Aren’t those animals registered? Apparently not.
Unless the horse has a tatoo in it’s lip, they are mostly anonymous and you trust the seller that the horse is who they claim.
I suppose you would advocate the forced registering of horses? Cows? Goats and the funding of the new animal registration beaurocracy? Would that be at the County , state, or Federal level? Would there be a computer data base? Hoof prints, brands? Please fill in all details.
