Register Your Chickens?
« on: March 24, 2024, 10:17:47 pm »
In PA, we have to register our beehives so this doesn't seem too far out of the norm but OTOH, it looks like overreach to me. For the record, I skipped through a lot of it. :cool:

USDA wants to chip all your chickens.  Then  you would have to report when you eat one and when one just dies...

And don't be surprised if they eventually pass a bill demanding you to save the dead chicken for inspection by a government agent, to prove the chicken died;  :shocked: :wink: then charge you a dead chicken disposal fee as they leave your property with the dead chicken.....  :shocked: :cheesy: :cool:

BEWARE !! Registration is the first step towards confiscation !

We need a constitutional amendment ...

A well regulated Flock, being necessary to the production of reasonably priced Eggs, the right of the people to keep and raise Birds, shall not be infringed.

I know you think you're being facetious... but that's probably exactly their intent.  Really.

You have to wonder who lobbied for this ridiculous idea. I'm just amazed that we made it this far without having them all registered, I don't know how we survived.

Not at all. . .  It is obvious the elitist are power and control hungry freaks. I have little doubt that they would do this is allowed. . .

I don't register anything.  Not my hives or anything else except for a couple of horses that were already registered.  I won't register my chickens.  I have not read the disgusting funding bill that just passed, but I heard they got the cattle tagging thing in.

How is it that such within these bills are invisible to our representatives before the vote, yet soon pounced upon once passed?

Most of the time they aren't "legislated" but "implemented by regulation"
A law usually gives power to an agency to define terms used within the law and write regulations that are supposed to be for implementing the law. Abusing that power, the agency can twist the law into all sorts of forms.

So, for instance, a business card made of metal with a picture printed on it, is currently classified as a machine gun by ATFE.
