We were just talking the other day about getting a goat or two for milk and cheese, as well as general lawn mowing

. This is insane that we have to register for a couple of animals!

You don't have to register, as it's currently a voluntary system. If it ever becomes mandatory, I don't see why it would be insane though. Several states that I am aware of have dog registry systems. This wouldn't be that much different, except it'd be national rather than local.

In my area we don't even have to register guns, let alone dogs.

Well, I suppose if any government agency has to drag your state kicking and screaming into the 21st century, it may as well be the USDA.
