FWD: House Ag Committee to review national animal ID program Tuesday, March 10, 2009, 3:32 PM A subcommittee of the House Agriculture Committee will hold a public hearing Wednesday to review the National Animal Identification System--NAIS. Farmfutures.com quotes a senior aide to the House Ag Committee as saying it will be a general overview of NAIS, including how many premises have been registered and if there has been improvement in the prospect of trace back in the event of a disease outbreak. House Ag Committee chairman Collin Peterson has made review of NAIS one of the committee's top priorities this year, and several public hearings will be held on the topic. Peterson has been a strong proponent of making the program mandatory. http://www.brownfieldnetwork.com/gestalt/go.cfm?objectid=F215EBC5-5056-B82A- D08926ACDB8E44B7 Susan Wolf North Carolina Responsible Animal Owners Alliance (NCRAOA) www.ncraoa.com Sportsmen's and Animal Owners' Voting Alliance (SAOVA) www.saova.org -- Stormy Hope www,carpoc.org AKC Legislative Liaison, GSDCA GSDs, and more, clubs ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
