When I came back from out of state I had paperwork from the person whose eggs I brought back but I just considered it a formality I didnt' even look at it. I'm not sure I still have it but I thought it was an NPIP thing. I did show it to the TSA people and they never really looked at it.
Here you must be NPIP certified to show and its done for free. Someone posted that there have been no cases of Pull.... in years. That it was not something to stress in the testing about.
What happens in MN is just that and may not apply to every state. Or does it? State laws do not cover every state and Federal laws do.
I haven't read my Poultry newsletter lately about a change in laws. Certainly this is something that should be written about in Back Yard Poultry magazine.
I haven't seen any law postings at the TSC or Country Max and they're selling chicks. What's up with that?
It's also something that should be posted in every Hatchery catalog and site then shouldn't it? These places sell hatching eggs too.
So mommommymamma since you brought it up perhaps you could write letters to all these venues and help us all out. I don't mean that snarky but I have other things on the agenda and taking up this fight is not one of them. The repercussions are huge to say the least.
Every auction and swap meet and small back yard holder will take a hit. Every science project in every elementary school and every 4-H club will have more work and people will just say forget it. Especially if they have to pay for all this testing. Please make sure you let the authorities know when you write them.
If we think the states have no money for the programs they have now, just think of how much they'll have for this testing program. The cost we pay for a test will not cover the cost of wages and travel expenses for testers to come to every farm and backyard coop. Heck they can't even get the USDA to test the food we have now.
Sorry but that's just how I see it.
