I was half expecting you to lambast me lol, you seemed so upset, which is understandable. Honestly though I feel for you farmers that are really
getting screwed. I believe the same trend is starting here in Canuckistan. Family farm numbers are dwindling fast, I don't like that..
edit: also, that's awesome you get to see lots of wild animals near you
It is awesome here. I was born in New York City so I spend a lot of time with my mouth hanging open
I have seen white deer, pinto (brown and white) deer and even black deer. I never knew deer came in such colors! The bird life is incredible with
blue birds, cardinals, grey heron, geese, hawks, vultures owls and others I can not name.
I have had red fox sit in my driveway and stare at me and seen the foot prints of bear on a couple occasions.
About Canada and food. Canada, the European Union and Australia have already been hit with similar laws. The all derive from the World Trade
Organizations Agreement on AG. Right now One Australian farmer takes his life every four days.

This gives you an Idea of the idiocy of some of these new laws and why the anger is mounting.
As Queensland, Australian ranchers are working day and night to save their cattle from the worst flood disaster in dozens of years the government
enforcers quickly publish rules of how to handle cattle with electronic ear pins. Never before have ranchers been forced to not only ride and swim
high water, but carry an electronic scanner for NLIS compliance. NLIS in Australia is the nasty sister to the USA NAIS ill fated regulations.
One recommendation by NLIS principal officer, Michael Lancaster is to identify “untagged” cattle by brands. Surely the ranchers will appreciate
that clever recommendation to continue with a process they have used since the first cattle landed in Australia. No batteries needed for reading a
brand — how convenient?
Queensland ranchers work at an exhausting pace yet government enforcers caution them of the exact methods of returning and reporting cattle with or
without electronic devices. As highly paid government employees answer the phones and develop protocol from high and dry office buildings a safe
distance from the fray, the ranchers work-on day and night. Never has a weather problem of this nature been compounded by extra NLIS rules and
potential fines up to $17,000 for non compliance. Compliance or not, the good thing is that the enforcers will not be getting in the water and mud to
slow down the rescue efforts. Say a kind word of prayer for the Australian ranchers, and also, that the enforcers will let them care for their cattle
without fines and burdensome additional flood ID legislation. nonais.org...
