Funny aspect of human nature.
They can impose stupid rules upon me, tax my money, indoctrinate my kids at school, stop me from this, fine me for that, make me pay for that, put my photograph on my drivers licence and the majority of us just grumble.
BUT IF THEY EVEN DARE TO FUCK WITH MY MUTT IN ANY WAY IM GONNA GO TO WAR AND FUCK WITH THEM BACK IN A BIG WAY, HOW DARE THEY EVEN THINK OF IT.!

Righto,

If all dog owners were responsible, then there would be no problem...BUT (And I understand and sympathise with the ire of responsible dog owners - really I do! Let's register cats too! Ours is chipped...) microchipping has potential to make enforcement and compliance issues much more straightforward. Is this dog registered? Who does it really belong to? 'Oh, it's not your dog? you won't mind if we take it then?' blah, blah...

The farm dog exemption: Think as a lawmaker for a moment. There needs to be a definition of what a farm dog is. Simple on the face of it? Not quite...is the JAFA lifestyle blocker's dog a farm dog? See the potential for loopholes. Our statute law is littered with ill thought-out tack on sections that make the law uncertain and problematic in its application. It would be nice to avoid another one of these (although there may be case law on what a farm dog is to settle the point...who knows)

We'll never agree on where the line should be in any given law, BUT we do agree on law as a method for regulating our society...no one will ever be happy entirely, but I think chipping is a step in the right direction.

I have heard a federated farmers rep drawing the analogy between farm dogs and farm vehicles that bever go on the road. This is good up to a point - you can never entirely control any dog as it is a sentient being in its own right.

Terbang makes a valid point - we submit to our vehicles being registered to a certain extent, and a number of other things...we submit due to the bad few who ruin it for the rest of us...why should dogs be different? For the reasons above...the mechanics of exempting farm dogs have great potential to be unworkable...

I'm in a lecture Poos. I'm actually trying to listen believe it or not. Strong opinion, but no time or ability to multitask....

Back to Equity for me now. Hooray for the UoA wireless network for the boring bits...

[Hitcher]

Mr Poos. Could you please do something about your signature so that it only fills a quarter of my screen, rather than all of it?

[Swoop]

Good one. Now all the females have PROOF that men cannot multitask!
Well done.

[WINJA]

So why all the ruckus? I mean those same farmers will still be saying "fuck the council" and the still won't be registering or chipping their dogs so fuck all is going to change.
I can understand where farmers are coming from and only an idiot would believe that this is going to stop dog attacks but microchipping does have it's place.

FARMERS SHOULD BE INCLUDED , I GOT BITTEN BY A ROTTY FARM DOG , ONE GUYS PITTBULL WOULDNT LET ME OUTA THE CAR AND A LAB CHASED ME ROUND A SHED TILL I FOUND A STICK ,A LOT OF COCKYS ARE GETTING DOGS FOR SECURITY CAUSE THESE DAYS, DONT SEE HOW CHIPING WILL HELP ME BUT FARMERS SHOULDNT BE EXPEMPT

I care not. Only one woman's perspective really matters to me. SAdly her mind is already made up in the negative on that point...
