A Wisconsin county circuit court judge has ruled that an Amish man does have a “religious right” to be exempt from the state’s Livestock Premise Registration law. Tuesday, the judge ruled in favor of Emanuel Miller, Jr., who had been sued by the state for not following the law, which requires anyone who keeps, houses or co-mingles livestock to register their premises with the state.
The Amish believe the law infringes on their religious beliefs because it could eventually result in the tagging of all animals, or the “Mark of the Beast,” mentioned in the Bible as related to Satan. Prosecutors argued that with mandatory premises ID, it would be much easier, during a livestock disease outbreak, to track down potentially at-risk farms. But it was noted during the court proceedings that the Amish do provide their names and addresses when they buy and sell livestock, and the judge ruled that doing so should be enough for the state to track down animals in case of a disease outbreak.
An assistant state veterinarian said he expected the state to appeal the decision.
It IS the “Mark of the Beast” and the servant of the Devil has a name. It is Tyranny.
Soon, we will all be Amish.
(I believe they are exempted in the Healthcare disaster)
Midwestern ping!
I am seriously thinking about converting. There are branches of the Mennonite church which allow the use of things like lightbulbs and the internet, so it wouldn’t be quite as harsh a transition as the stereotypes say.
I want to build my own house first. I know the Amish community would help, but I want to try it on my own first. Then I’ll decide.
Please after the cap and trade and Obamacare bills are defeated can we make an effort to defeat NAIS? This is just like OC only for ag.It MUST be defeated or they will control the food supply which is just as bad as healthcare. What is more frightening is this got it’s start before the current crop of Marxist gained control of the WH.
PS: As I understand it ALL private lands registered under premises ID are being listed as collaterlal for the government on the loans from China.
