| National Animal Identification System - NAIS If you own so much as one horse, pony, chicken, goat, pig, sheep or cow you will have to: * register your farm with the government * acquire a national I.D. Number for each animal * Pay to do these things or else be in violation of a federal government law * report any and all animal movement to the government, whether it is a trail ride, selling an animal, including giving names and addresses to whom you have sold the animal, etc (this is not limited to these animals they can include any animal at any time they wish) Horse owners must report all movement of horses including trail rides, parades, shows, equestrian events, riding on public roads and every entry and exit from a property, within 24 hours. Reports include the 15 digit animal ID of each horse plus the 7 digit premise ID of each property crossed on the ride. Homesteaders have the same as small farmers but unable to pass the costs on to customers effectively taxing us on the food we raise for ourselves at a cost of about $500/year per family. 4-H, FFA & pet owners? Parents of children in 4-H, FFA and owners of pet livestock will be treated as farmers, required to register their home for a Premise ID with the associated annual fees, tag costs, filing fees, tracking of all animal events and fines. Failure by a child to comply will result in fines. Can't I just hide my animals? Animal health providers, veterinarians, service providers (police, butchers, gas, electric, telephone, etc) will be required by law to report unregistered animal sightings to the government. Failure to register your premise and animals or to report movements will result in non-compliance fines of up to $1,000 per incident per day. Under NAIS the government may enter your property without a warrant and confiscate, redistribute or kill your animals without any form of legal appeal by you.
