under the guise of NAIS - the National Animal Identification System

Why didn't they just call it under the guise of NAZIS - the National Animal Zany Identification System.

Maybe the motivation is bird flu preparedness. If it ever becomes that big a threat, they'll kill all of the chickens except for a select few sequestered in the lab, and most of the wildfowl, then rebreed. That would make more sense than tracking through 15 digits of chicken ID to contain an epidemic.

This isn't like mad cow, where it is rare and the numbers of animals in a given lot of meat products is manageable. How many chicken IDs do you think go into a bucket of chicken nuggets?

Yup!

Next thing you know, we'll have automated chicken cameras that send the owner a citation in the mail if the chicken does anything it's not supposed to do.

Thats one of the selling points that resonates with the sheeple but having a database will do nothing to stop the spread once it starts

Well, once you tag them, it will be easier to get rid of them. Most livestock are not natives to the USA.
