Group Seeks To Add to R-CALF’s Suit Over RFID

A new nonprofit civil rights group has filed a lawsuit challenging USDA’s attempts to implement mandatory use of RFID eartags for cattle and bison, Drovers.com reports.

The New Civil Liberties Alliance has filed a motion asking the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming to add nine documents to the Administrative Record in the case of R-CALF, et al. v. USDA, et al.

NCLA’s senior litigation counsel Harriet Hageman said, "Our battle against USDA’s unlawful push to force livestock producers to use RFID eartags continues.  Our latest efforts are designed to ensure that the Court has a full record on which to evaluate our FACA claim against USDA."
