They have already gone nuts.

He never asked my name. He asked if he had the address right.

He said "Looks like you have some animals back there. You have some goats & some chickens?" To which I replied.. "That's what it looks like."

I wish I had been thinking better at the time I would have told him I didn't want any mention of animals noted.

When they finally pass the NAIS then you will have to obtain a Premise ID from the federal government if you own even one chicken. Even if it is a pet. This goes for all food animals.. milking included. If one dies you have to let them know within 24 hours. If you sell one you have to let them know... if you move one you have to let them know. If they come and audit your land and you have one goat that died and you didn't turn it in then you will face very large fines. This one stop by my house today has put me on the list for the houses they will immediately visit when the NAIS is finally forced through against the massive opposition to it. Of course the NAIS is touted as voluntary... but they always bring their draconian legislation in as voluntary and then make it mandatory.

Back in 1990, I actually was a census taker, made I think about $10.00 per hour. It was fun and interesting, we had an influx of Southeast Asians into Stockton at the time, they were very reluctant to give any information. Almost like pulling teeth.

This is the first I have heard of this. I will need to tell my Mom and BIL. One raises chickens in La and the other cows in Al. I am guessing this is nation wide?

Please don't fill out voter registrations for the chickens.

Well it is now illegal to not answer the census.

Go figure.

Yes it is. I had one harass me about sending mine in. I told her I would fill it out and mail it in but I had a situation going on at the time that it would have to wait.

She then informed me I could be fined and imprisoned if I didn't fill it out. I again told her I would fill it out, but she would have to wait. Then she wanted to send someone to help me fill it out. I again said she would have to WAIT! Hello, do you get I am not doing it this week?

So I took care of the crisis, filled it out and mailed it in. Good grief, was she ever parnoid.

Period.

And... Conversely... I do have the right to control what I raise on my own property to feed my own family.

If it's a law, then it's their right.
