I understand, and certainly, as a practical point, it is wise to contact our senators and demand that they shut this down.

However, I was somewhat facetiously making a philosophical point that government has only the power that we relinquish to it. It certainly has no authority to demand premise registration or individual animal identification. Legislators and bureaucrats consistently overstep constitutional constrains by interfering with private property and commerce.

There are already egregiously invasive regulations of private property in place, and we ought not be expected to obey an unconstitutional statute just because it is passed by some legislative body or published by some unelected government flunky.

I so agree with the egregious encroachment bit by bit.
Once they do a thing it has become almost impossible to stop them..

The over 2000 page health care bill for example ... did we want it NO! Did it stop them? NO! Do they care ? NO!

We must be more than facetiously making Philosophical points.

Sorry, I am not meaning to be argumentative. The current last few years, and the advances of Islam and the direction the nation has taken, frankly scares me, for the future of children and grandchildren.. Have you read the history of Russia after their revolution to depose the Czars?

Regarding when Lenin took power.... how Russia life was governed, and later the starving of the people of the Ukraine by Stalin, etc.?

There were unbelievably cruel and dehumanizing things imposed on the masses..
Did the people want it ? NO!

That is the point ... if we allow, which we have already, them to seize the power they (people that do not believe in America and the American way) enslave people, oppress, and starve them at their will while living like Kings.

Venezuela, Zimbabwe, China, North Korea the Islamic middle east, etc. are there for all to consider. It is difficult to take what is occurring lightly.
