THE NATIONAL ANIMAL IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
"Haven’t heard of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS)? Don’t feel bad, you join millions of Americans, including the majority of those who will be forced to identify their animals with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology in January 2009.
Believe it or not, the whole concept of animal identification with RFID technology didn’t begin with the Patriot Act back in 2001, PL 107-56. A document from the National Institute for Animal Agriculture (NIAA), “NAIS Facts and Myths”, dated March 2006, states, “Although discussions on animal ID have taken place for many years and started well before 2002 …” Another document entitled “Summary and Future Action” published by NIAA, carries the remarks of individuals gathered at a symposium on animal identification in 1994. It is obvious from remarks made in this document that the participants were drawn from an international field:
“Let me just say to all of you, how much I appreciate your attendance … and for many of our participants, you have had to come from abroad …”
The document addresses a national animal identification system."
