USDA Head Says Animal Tracking Is Nearly Ready

Johanns says U-S close to completing system to track cattle

In this brief story Johanns says Animal ID is a "crucial tool in safeguarding animals from disease." Now I may be just a "dumb cowboy" but how does an id number or ear tag safeguard an animal from a disease? Quick answer, it doesn't. We really need to look further to see what might be driving this. NoNAIS.org has an idea though. Check it out.

Remember, an ear tag, ID number, or premise ID, never stopped a disease, but it might help line a politicians pocket.
