Hello Folks- Passing this along and wondering whether anyone has checked this out or has further info. on the possibility of it becoming a reality..................
There is a new proposed Federal Program which affects all horse breeders and owners - requiring that ALL equines will be tagged regardless of their use. Horses will need to comply by July 2006. Although this is geared towards the 'meat market' ALL horses will be required to comply, even those considered pets.
Please take a moment to read about this new regulation and form your own opinion. You may make comments as you see fit to the person listed below.
The deadline to make comments to the committee concerning this plan is 12-31-03. Email: http://usaip.info/commentshorses.htm Fax 719-538-8847 Mail: USAIP Comments 660 Southpointe Ct, Suite 314, Colorado Springs, CO 80906
