Lobbyists secured $15 million for unauthorized electronic tracking of all U.S. cattle

It seems like there’s some sneaky business going on in the world of legislation, and Representative Massie is shining a light on it. Tucked away in this week’s Omnibus bill, there’s a whopping $15 million allocated for something that might leave you scratching your head: electronic tracking of all cattle in the U.S.

Now, here’s the kicker – there’s no law authorizing this! Cue the raised eyebrows and a collective “What in the world?”

Representative Massie is one of the brave few calling out this hidden gem. But why the fuss? Well, it’s not just about keeping tabs on our four-legged friends. The skeptics argue that this electronic tracking could be used to advance the green agenda, with potential repercussions for beef production. Picture this: limitations on beef production all in the name of environmental sustainability.
