Wisconsin D.A. Resisting Enforcement of Premise Registration For Amish

The District Attorney in Clark County, Wisconsin is questioning a request by the state's Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection that he force the county's Old Order Amish to register their farms under the state's Premises Registration Act. WRN News today says that D.A. Darwin Zwieg wants the DATCP to show him statistical data establishing that premise registration is the only way to achieve their objective of controlling livestock disease. The Amish say that registration violates their religious beliefs.
