This is incredible. A state is going to keep track of all domestic animals and pets in a state and yet they can't keep track of illegal aliens or sexual predators! Talk about misplaced priorities.

I haven't read the Wisconsin law, but if it's like the ones I've read about in the trade magazines they will be required to register the farm the animals are on, not each individual animal.

It is not unusual in the midwest for a farm family to piece together their land holdings over the years they are farming, so all the land isn't necessarily contiguious. The purpose of the bills I know about is to identify 'where' the animals are raised. Which is why I am concerned about the bureaucrats publishing the information and letting PETA and ALF have access to it.

Illegals that enter Wisconsin will be issued a cow, for tracking purposes. Predators, I'm not speculating on that.

Excellent. Thanks.

Just like that poor guy I read about on FR the other day who is facing huge fines and a jail term for rearranging some dirt on a dry area of his property that some idiot decided was wetland.

Don't try confusing people with the facts, you Sophist. ;-)
