Chipped, snipped and tagged is my boy. Very much loved too :-D

I often see lost pet appeals on FB, sadly too many are not tagged and chipped.
OK, our boy doesn't wear his collar at home but we made sure he'd have no escape route before he moved in with us.

I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday

There is nothing worse than loosing a pet
and not knowing where it is or what's happened to it

somebody from our cat rescue
lost her cat 5 years ago and a few months ago
she came in to the vets as a stray and they where reunited

fortunately she was spayed
so never resulted in a feral cat population boom :-D :-D

Yes I had this discussion with our council they had a very vague policy on it in effect when they felt like it!

Absolutely !!

And road kills should be scanned and the owners informed .

Enforcing though could be a problem because it would rely on the animal being taken to a vet to get it done.

We got our cat Mirabelle from the Cats Protection League aged 7 months and she had been spayed and micro chipped.

if folks get their pet from a home bred animal then how is anyone going to enforce them being done in both ways :-(

Do you think pets should be micro chipped
I myself think they should be

AND SOON ALL DOGS HAVE TO BE BY LAW


But what gets me mad is
not al councils scan road kills
Which I think they should; :-( :-( :-(
