Compulsory microchipping is not such a bad idea. It might cut down on the numbers of dogs and cats in shelters. Some are there simply because they have no ID. And somewhere, maybe a hundred miles away or more, may be people who never found their dog. Of course, many will still be there because their people simply didn't care, or abandoned them.
It will be harder to just abandon a dog once the details are on a microchip. If there is animal cruelty involved, it will be easier to trace previous owners for prosecution.
At least....maybe. Unless there is a device which can completely wipe microchip details....
Don't lick the post-man too hard, Forgy! He might fall over on the ground laughing because he is being tickled!
He has a job to do.....delivering things .........haha!
