Hey All-
Long time no see...I don't know if anyone has seen this but here it goes.
Shawn was just reading this to me and it sort of raised my hackles. For what it's worth I am sharing it with you since I know you are all, like me, backyard chicken (as well as other livestock) farmers.
This Bill would affect not just small/backyard chicken farming...but ANY farming. Raw vegetables and the sort.
Here's the copy of the Bill in its entirety. It's a bit much information (and legal jargon) but I am including it in order that you are aware of just what it entails.
H 875: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-875
Here's what you can do...the Bill is on the floor and there is doubt that it will pass but, what if? The answer to that question...scares ME!

Pay close attention (as the author states) to section three of the definitions. If you don't read the entire thing...read this!
The Bill states that should you not abide by the rules stated you would be subjected to some authoritative figures fines. Which all sounds very arbitrary to me. In other words, you (nay WE) would be regulate.
I normally don't post this sort of thing but it really compounds the fact that I got a letter from CSU a few weeks ago asking if I would volunteer in some research they are doing with birds and interactions with human. I have NO idea how they got my information nor do I want to get involved in this. It has me upset and a bit ill at ease!

Pedro
