Dog chipping.

**Velox** · 29th March 2006, 22:55

Heh - I was in Parliament yesterday when they had the 'Question Time' and Q number 3 was re the dog chipping. Could hardly hear what anyone was saying cause they were all moaning and yelling apart from one fella who kept yelling "roll over Jim".

I'm going to get a couple of dogs soon but that'll be before this all comes in anyway. On that note, anyone know what the cost is for not registering your dog at the mo?

The whole exercise is utterly pointless, except to appease the dog-haters in society. The simple fact is, there will be un-chipped dogs, same as there are currently unregistered dogs, and the problem dogs will largley remain in that category. All that will be achieved is vets will get richer for shag-all, and councils will likewise make a buck out of it.
And let us not forget why we have dog registration at all - it has nothing to do with traceablity of rogue dogs, it was all about elimination of hydatits, which has now been achieved.

I hate hydatits too.
Much prefer the unhidden ones

You need to use a cat scanner

Meh. Upgrade to *nix. It has a cat command as standard.

chip the politicians so we can track them back to their policies..
i'll gladly hold them down on the ground while someone gayer than myself rams it home, & make it extra large, there's a lot of red tape will need to be stored on it..

A small chip of porous silicon* in the neck would be a good idea.

*porous silicon is the most powerfull explosive yet discovered.

The cost is zero, the cost of getting caught is a bit more.

Same deal as with the gun registration nonsense a couple of years back.
