Let’s poke Big Brother in the eye讓我們撥開大哥哥,在眼
The USDA proudly boasts on its美國農業部自豪地擁有它 website網站 that nearly 385,000 people have registered their premises to participate in the National Animal Identification System.近38.5萬人已登記處所,參加全國動物識別系統。 They do not say how many of these people were registered without their knowledge, as was done in Idaho.他們雖然不說有多少人,這些人當中登記在他們毫不知情,因為是在愛達荷州。 They do not say how much money they distributed to various entities in exchange for soliciting registrations.他們雖然不說多少錢,派發給各實體換取拉客登記。 They do not say that many of the registrations were coerced by requiring registration before participating in 4-H events, county fairs and other shows.他們雖然不說,許多登記人脅迫,要求註冊,方可參加4小時的事件,縣交易會和其它節目。
They do not provide any information about how a person can withdraw from this “voluntary” program.他們不提供任何資料,對如何一個人可以退出這一"自願"的計劃。
Until a couple of months ago, a person could not withdraw his registration from the database.直到數個月前,一個人不能撤回其登記從數據庫。 Then,然後, Carol and Calvin Whittaker卡羅爾和卡爾文維塔克 discovered that their premises had been registered in the NAIS database when they renewed their brand registration.發現,他們的房舍已被登記在拉數據庫時,他們重申了他們的品牌註冊。 For months, they were told by the state department of agriculture and by the USDA that once registered, their premises could not be removed.幾個月來,他們被告知,由國務院農業和由美國農業部表示,一旦註冊,其處所不能被撤銷。
Within days after the Whittaker’s plight was publicized, the USDA decided that since the program was now “voluntary,” they would幾天之後,惠塔克的困境被公開時,美國農業部的決定以來,該組織現在是"自願" ,他們將 develop a procedure制定程序 to allow a person to remove their premises from the NAIS database.讓一個人,以消除他們的房舍,從拉數據庫。
A person who is registered in the NAIS database, or who thinks they may be registered, must write a letter (which should be sent by certified mail) to the一個人是登記在拉有數據庫,或人以為他們可以註冊,必須寫一封信(應發送認證郵件)向 state NAIS coordinator國家想要協調員 and formally request that their premises registration be removed from the NAIS database.並正式要求其房地登記撤出拉數據庫。 The state coordinator must then advance the request to the USDA.國家協調員必須與時俱進,然後要求美國農業部。
The Whittakers followed this procedure precisely – and waited for more than two months.該whittakers遵循這一程序正是-等待兩個月以上。 Nothing.一無所獲。 How could they know whether their registration had been removed or not?他們怎麼能夠知道他們是否註冊已被拆除或不?
The USDA has now formalized a protocol for this process, and the states are just now learning about it.美國農業部已正式一項議定書,為這個過程中,與各國,現在剛開始學習一下。 When a name has been removed from the NAIS database as the result of an individual’s request, the state coordinator is so notified by the USDA.當一個名字已被清除出拉數據庫由於個人的要求,國家協調員通知,由美國農業部。 It is the state coordinator’s responsibility to notify the individual that the registration has been removed.它是國家協調員的責任,通知說,個人註冊已被移除。
Idaho’s state coordinator has not yet notified the Whittakers that their name has been removed.愛達荷州的國家協調員尚未通知whittakers說,他們的名字已被移除。 USDA says that the Whittaker’s name has been removed, but is not yet sure that the state has been notified.美國農業部指出,惠塔克的名字已經被拆掉,但還沒有肯定的是,國家也已接到通知。 A spokesman for the Idaho state coordinator says that they are in the process of developing a media campaign to notify people who may have been registered without their knowledge about the procedure for having their names removed from the NAIS database.發言人愛達荷州國家協調員說,他們現正著手制定一項媒體宣傳活動通知的人可能已被登記在他們毫不知情的有關程序後,他們的名字從拉數據庫。
Every person in every state who does not want to be in the NAIS database should contact their state coordinator to determine whether they have been registered, and if so, request immediate removal.每個人有每個國家的人不希望在拉數據庫應聯繫自己的國家協調員,以確定他們是否已登記,如果是的話,請立即下台。 This procedure could reduce the total number of registered premises significantly.這一程序可減少總數的登記場所顯著。
While USDA continues to claim that the program is “voluntary,” producers and other animal owners are not at all convinced that the program will remain voluntary.而美國農業部繼續聲稱該計劃是"自願" ,生產者和其他動物的業主不是在任何地方都能確信,上述計劃將仍然是自願的。 The USDA has already demonstrated its willingness to coerce “voluntary” participation by encouraging organizations to limit participation or services for people who are not registered in the NAIS database.美國農業部已經表明它願意要挾"自願"的參與,鼓勵各機構,以限制參與或服務的人沒有登記在拉數據庫。
Moreover, there’s talk in Congress about attaching a mandatory NAIS to the Country Of Origin Label legislation that is scheduled to go into force later this year.此外,還有的說,在國會的同時附上一份強制拉至原產國標籤的立法,這是計劃前往生效,在今年晚些時候。 USDA has always claimed the authority to make the “voluntary” program mandatory at any time they determine it to be necessary.美國農業部一直聲稱有權作出"自願"的程序強制在任何時候,他們確定這是必要的。
Should there be an instance of tainted meat products similar to the recent tainted pet food incident, it could easily serve as an excuse to convert the “voluntary” program to a mandatory program, with nothing more than the stroke of a pen.如果有一個實例的污點肉類產品相似,最近污點寵物食品事件,它很可能成為一個藉口,轉換成"自願"的節目,以一個強制性的計劃,無非就是比中風的一支筆。
People who are already registered would have no choice but to comply with whatever requirements the USDA may impose.人,已經登記將沒有選擇,但必須遵守規定,無論美國農業部可能施加的。 People who are not registered could offer powerful resistance to arbitrary registration and arbitrary bureaucratic control.人,他們不登記的,可以提供功能強大的阻力任意登記和任意官僚控制。
People who are opposed to the NAIS have developed a variety of organizations such as the的人反對以拉都制定了各種組織,如 Liberty Ark Coalition自由方舟聯盟 and及 NoNais.org nonais.org , and are working together to get legislation introduced into more than 12 states, as well as in the Congress, that would limit or prohibit participation in a NAIS. ,並正在共同努力,以獲得立法引入12個以上的國家,以及在國會中,這將限制或禁止參與一拉。
The more people who learn about the government attempting to inventory and track the movements of every livestock animal in the country, the greater the possibility of stopping the program.越多的人了解政府企圖清單,並跟踪運動的每一個禽畜動物在該國,就越有可能阻止這一計劃。 Opponents are convinced that the program would do nothing to prevent a disease outbreak, whether natural or induced, nor could it actually improve the remedy process.反對者相信,該計劃將什麼也不做,以防止疾病的爆發,無論是自然人或誘導,也不能真正改善補救的過程。 It would just be another massive government bureaucracy to monitor every livestock owner and force them to pay the cost of Big Brother’s ever-seeing eye.它只是另一個龐大的政府官僚監控每牲畜所有者,並迫使他們付出的成本大哥哥的不斷導盲。
