EU orders horsemeat and chips in equine passport scheme

It seems as though the folks in the EU are a leg up on us in implementing total animal tracking. And look what they're starting with: equines. Whose aficionados here have been a driving force in keeping keeping NAIS at bay. So far. Interesting.

The European Union will kick off a single passport and chip system next year - but only for horses and donkeys. Well, for now anyway.
