Dated this 6th day of November, 2009. Connie Whirlwind Horse, Chairwoman Shannon Board of County Commissioners ATTEST: Sue Ganje County Auditor Shannon County Motion by, Hutchison, seconded by Hagman to approve the following resolution. With no further discussion and all voting yes, the motion carried. Resolution #2009-17 opposing the National Animal Identification System Whereas the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is proposing a National Animal Identification System (NAIS) to be in place by 2009, and Whereas the primary justifications for the NAIS given by the USDA are animal health issues, specifically, foot-and-mouth (FMD) and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), and Whereas there has been no reported FMD in the United States for over 70 years, and its reintroduction is speculative, and Whereas there have been only two reported cases of BSE in the United States, with one cow being imported from Canada, and the other born and lived its entire life on the property where it was born, and Whereas the USDA has put into place all necessary safeguards to ensure that the United States beef supply has an extremely low probability of the transmission of BSE prions to humans, and Whereas the intent of the NAIS is to monitor and control animal health, the effectiveness is questioned, due to the enormous size and complexity of the program, and Whereas the financial cost to the livestock producer is unknown for purchasing and installing the proposed computer chips/ear tags, a Radio Frequency Reading Instrument, a computer, a GPS receiver for monitoring range livestock and software for both the computer and GPS receiver, and Whereas the producer will be forced to record and report any movement from or return to the specified area on any and all livestock, which could easily generate over a thousand data events per year for even a modest sized livestock operation, and generate tens of thousands of data events per year for medium to large operations, and Whereas ear tags on livestock are easily lost and it is impractical, if not impossible to replace lost ear tags on livestock, when two or more are lost, except when the livestock are gathered and even then not all livestock my be located, and Whereas with a transfer of hundreds of millions of data points every year, with the number of historically proven anticipated errors, has the potential of creating an enormous lack of confidence in the system, and Whereas an animal may not have a disease when it leaves the producer’s premises but a disease is identified later, and it cannot be proven when the animal contracted the disease, especially if every movement of the animal was not entered into the database, the liability may be placed on the producer, and Whereas there is no proposal for communicating data to the existing state animal health agencies, and Whereas South Dakota and other “brand” states have had animal identification and tracking systems in place for over 100 years, and Whereas brand state agencies have successfully demonstrated, on a continuing basis, the ability to track animals for animal health reasons, and Whereas brands have been proven to be an effective and economical means of identifying animals, and Whereas South Dakota and the brand states contend that the data bases they have accumulated for over 100 years are too valuable a resource for the USDA to simply throw away, and should be used for animal health tracking purposes, and Whereas state agencies, like SD Animal Industry Board have the statutory responsibility to monitor animal health, they cannot hand over that responsibility, or authority, to anyone, especially to a private legal entity, i.e. privately contracted data collection system, and Whereas the proposed NAIS has many unproven practical applications, with an unknown cost to animal producers, which has proven, with past initiatives, to be unworkable, due to the enormous and needless complexity, and Whereas the Fourth, Fifth, & Fourteenth Amendments guarantee the right to privacy and security against unreasonable searches and seizures and the protection against the loss of life, liberty or private property without due process of law. The NAIS allows the Government’s seizure of private property without due process. Whereas the Shannon County Natural Resource Committee and the Shannon County Commission is strongly opposed to the proposed surveillance against citizens, and Whereas Animal Identification is a separate concept from Country of Origin Labeling, it should not be a contingency for funding and implementing Country of Origin labeling… Now, therefore be it resolved that Shannon County opposes the proposed USDA National Animal Identification System, and calls upon the South Dakota Governor, State Legislators, and Congressional Delegation to join in opposing implementing the program. And be it further resolved that no producer shall be denied access to any sale barn or auction facility for lack of premise ID or RFID tags, and that no one shall be prevented from participation in 4-H or FFA events for lack of premise ID or RFID tags.
