Example: You decide you want keep a couple of laying hens in your backyard because you like the idea of fresh eggs. You have 1 rooster and 4 hens. All 5 birds MUST be RFID 'chipped'. The premises must be 'registered' by GPS coordinates. If your rooster flies out of your yard you must write a report. When that rooster comes back you must write another report. The fine for non-compliance is $1,000.00, per ANIMAL.

Example: Your child has a horse. You take it to the 4-H show. Not only must you write a report of when and where you took your horse off of the property, you must include in that report the RFID chip numbers of EVERY OTHER ANIMAL your horse was stabled with.

Example: You buy your Mom a cockatiel. As an exotic bird, it also must be chipped and the premises registered by GPS.

You all realize that GPS coordinates make satellite observation as easy as point and click, right?

Like I said, VERY Orwellian.

Yep, too mcuh control. Thats for sure. The thing is the small person gets the large fines. The agribusiness gets excused of them because of the large numbers they have to manage. I think its a way to keep control of the food. JMHO

Why they're endangered: The long-term trend toward consolidation of farms into fewer and larger farms is expected to continue displacing small independent farmers

This reminds me of the big government farms in Russia during the cold war. But these would be owned privately by companies like Tysons, Swift and ConAgra.
