That’s seems to be a lower percentage of deaths per case that usual annual influenza epidemics we see each year which kill something like 250K to 500K out of 3m to 5m cases (that’s taken from the World Health Organisation).

Madness!

The part about tracking animal disease was added later.

All those who own even one cow, pig, horse, chicken or other farm animal will be required to register their premises, microchip (RFID) each and every last critter, no matter if it is a pet or potential food.

Then they must, under threat of huge fines, tell the govt about all birth, death and off-property movement reports (within 24 hours) on every last critter on the place.

If animal disease is even suspected in an area, the USDA can go in and kill all the animals. (6 mile radius or 140 sq miles of animals dead that never came in contact with each other!)

The claimed purpose of this oh-so-wonderful-thanks-for-protecting-us program is to provide 48 hour traceback should a disease be suspected. Animals within a 6 mile radius could be killed, though most diseases are preventable, can be vaccinated against or the animal recovers.

The only problem with this program is that e-coli happens after the cow is slaughtered, which is when NAIS tracking stops. The beef is most vulnerable to being tainted in those processing plants.

And the fact the majority of beef is raised by corporate agriculture, who will not be required to tag and track each animal because they raise them in lots, they they get only ONE number per groups of animals. Any one of those critters in that group could be diseased and who would know. But as long as there are appearances of something being done, the city dwellers will eat in peace, while granny and her few egg hens will be tracked closer than the illegals everybody is making such a fuss about and that will make our beef supply oh so safe. See nonais dot org for more info on the true impact NAIS will have on all of us who eat!
The USDA claimed a reason for NAIS was to track and prevent mad cow disease. Yet when Creekstone Beef wanted to test every cow they process for BSE, the USDA says they cannot!!! Creekstone had to take the USDA to court to sue for the right to test for BSE! And what does my reporting to the USDA when I take my horse off my property have to do with big ag selling beef to Japan?

There are already disease protocols in place and they work. NAIS tracking stops at time of slaughter which is when many food safety issues occur by mishandling the meat.

I suggest checking out nonais.org and read about how NAIS will negatively affect everyone who eats. The British hoof and mouth disease was traced back to the local lab it had escaped from. The millions of animals killed, only a few thousand tested positive for the disease from which cattle can be cured or vaccinated. The British ag officials do not want to vaccinate. The famous ‘bird flu’ that ran from China through Turkey less than 300 humans out of 6 billion died from that disease while thousands die from regular flu in the US each month.
