We are a group of animal lovers who keep a few farm animals for food and pleasure. We were very disturbed about NAIS and were worried that it would force us to lose our beloved animals. We decided to do something about it! StopAnimalID was born when we put our heads together to decide how to fight back.
NAIS
USDA initiated the implementation of the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) in 2004. NAIS is a cooperative State-Federal-industry partnership to standardize and expand animal identification programs and practices to all livestock species and poultry. NAIS is being developed through the integration of three components—premises identification, animal identification, and animal tracking. The long-term goal of the NAIS is to provide animal health officials with the capability to identify all livestock and premises that have had direct contact with a disease of concern within 48 hours after discovery.
Below are resources where you can learn more about NAIS and the arguments against this immensely controversial program.

NAIS
NoNAIS.org is nothing fancy or complex. It is myself, a homesteader, father and small time farmer in Vermont plus a few other volunteers like Celeste who has been compiling alerts about NAIS.
