Big Brother is watching the farm

Letter to the Editor

Posted: Thursday, February 22, 2007

Are you aware that through a United States Department of Agriculture program (National Animal Identification System), every farm animal will be implanted with a microchip? Talk about “mark of the beast!” And if you refuse to comply (naturally at your expense), your animals will be seized, destroyed, and you will be heavily fined.

This is the National Animal ID System, and the State of Alaska has already accepted over $38,000 from the feds to begin implementation. That means every horse, cow, sheep, goat, chicken, duck, alpaca, or any other farm animal in Alaska, will be chipped, allowing tracking via satellite through GPS registration of your home place.

I encourage every Alaskan who values their civil liberties to educate themselves and fight this intrusion of government into our lives. See these Web sites for more information: www.nonais.org; www.libertyark.net.
