A little light reading to scare your pants off

Dr. Mary Zanoni:

/www.bantamclub.com/hobby/Why%20You%20Should%20Oppose.pdf

"Third parties, such as veterinarians, will be required to report "sightings" of animals. (St., p. 25.) In other words, if you call a vet to your property to treat your horse, cow, or any other animal, and the vet finds any animal without the mandatory 15-digit computer-readable ID, the vet may be required to report you. "
