I don't have much to say about this story except that I do not believe that this is the end of the National Animal ID system. It is likely just a ploy to get people to focus on other issues thinking that this battle has been won. The government will likely just rename this system and call it something else.

The National Animal Identification System, first proposed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2004, has been abandoned after costing $142 million to develop.
In turn, the USDA has proposed to develop a new, flexible framework for animal disease traceability in the U.S. and undertake several other actions to further strengthen its disease prevention and response capabilities.
