NAIS and ADGA!!!

I am prayerfully buying a nubian doe to add to my lil herd. She has papers that convey from the ADGA. I did some research on the ADGA. My brain wasn't working properly with the goat lingo' they were talking of on the ADGA site, so I posted on one of my favorite homesteading boards. I got some REALLY helpful replies that made sense to my simple brain. I then went to the ADGA site to search some more and seen something about chipping' goats. My eyes got BIG....Suddenly the words NAIS came to mind...I quickly typed in NAIS and ADGA in a google search. Up popped the ADGA site with a link to a statement they made supporting the NAIS movement.
After my research I did (do your own if interested...NAIS and ADGA on your internet search), I am skipping the registered thing. Really a bummer to me cause I have read so much on the benefits of papers, but it's not worth my freedoms to own the animals I want without being tagged and tracked. Makes me a lil upset. I know at this time NAIS is voluntary, but it makes me uneasy that the ADGA (or any other organizations similar) would support it.
