Re: [RC] [RC] GOVERNMENT HORSE ID-From another list - Maryanne Stroud Gabbani

There is currently a watch on deer and elk in the US and Canada who are victims of a cervid version of mad cow disease, Cervid Wasting Disease. It's been tracked back to a commercial elk business, but this kind of tracking would be easier with some kind of system in place. Likewise, they've had to backtrack those alligators in Idaho (?) who had WNV. Trying to keep a country free of disease is hard work...I think, on the whole, I'm rather glad that we just live with our bugs.

That would be a good reason in and off itself but I suspect it is to rapidly identify animals that were exposed to diseases, e.g., hoof and mouth, African horse sickness, etc. or could be carriers to limit the spread.
