But the object isn't enforcement.  That's the whole point.  The object is 
M - O - N - E - Y !   They make bundles on CAMP every year!

And the end run on NAIS and PAWS is private companies.  There are BILLIONS 
to be made and that is the point.  Do the math at $12.50 for registration 
plus $35 per chip for every dog and cat in the U.S.

then do the same math for chickens, pigs, sheep, goats, cattle and horses.
