and vote to STOP NAIS (National Animal Identification System).

You will need to register for an account. After getting your account, click on the Vote icon to the left of STOP NAIS. You should see the vote count go up.

NAIS consists of three phases: premise registration, animal registration, and reporting the movements of all livestock (including horses) off and on a premise.

The USDA is currently trying to tie premise registration, which they claim is voluntary, to vaccination programs, such as the brucellosis eradication program, and testing programs, such as the Coggins test for Equine Infectious Anemia. No premise id - no test - no vaccination. No vaccination, no test: depending upon your state regulations, you might not be able to sell or move your livestock.
