Congressman advocates mandatory animal ID
Congressman David Scott represents an urban district based in Atlanta, Georgia in the U.S. House of Representatives. So it was somewhat surprising to learn that he also chairs the Livestock, Dairy and Poultry subcommittee of the House Agriculture Committee. However, in remarks to the Animal Agriculture Alliance Summit attendees, Scott showed he has a very good grasp of the issues facing animal agriculture. We talked to Scott about two of those issues—mandatory animal identification (which he favors) and livestock antibiotics. On the animal ID issue, Scott sees it as a matter of national security.
