Abstract

Legislation to establish a national, mandatory animal-identification program has been introduced by U.S. House Agriculture General Farm Commodities Subcommittee ranking member Collin Peterson and James Walsh. The discovery of mad cow disease in a Canadian-born dairy cow in Washington in December has increased pressure to create an animal identification system that could be used to trace the history of a diseased animal quickly. The bill authorizes $175 million for implementation and exempts the bill from the Freedom of Information Act. Under the bill, the government would buy tags and the farmers and ranchers would be responsible for attaching them to animals.
