And give a bloody good chewing on command too.

Thank goodness this law protected the lady in Murapara.
Those dog chips really work, where would we be without them. Thank you, New Zealands politicians, you have done us proud once again. I am humbled in the presence of such intelligence and wise decision-making.

Chipping dogs will stop dog attacks the same way registering guns will stop people getting shot.........

Well a mate of mine trained his as a duck dog (won a novice section at gun-dog trials and all) and I was with him heaps of times duck-shooting and saw the dog retrieve ducks, (was a strong swimmer, he could swim upstream in the Clutha River)

So given that I suppose they could be trained as a sheep-dog too.

"We had hoped pitbulls would be banned but that hasn't happened," Mr Kerridge told NZPA.
"However, most of the laws are fine. It's just that in some cases people don't abide by the laws, and that seems to be what happened here."

Ahh, no, d'y' really think so Bob. I mean, people not abiding by the laws? But, like, I mean wouldn't that be sort of , like , actually illegal. Y' really think that anyone would do that? Nah, must be a mistake. People not abide by the laws. Shit , next thing you'll be telling me that there are people that actually exceed the speed limit. I don't think so, Bob. Let's get real here and come down to earth. It stands to reason that if there are laws passed OF COURSE everyone will obey them. I mean, it's the law , iddn it.

I have no problem with dog chipping. It was never about prevention of attack as may have claimed. It simply gives details of ownership should the dog become invloved in an incident.

Vehicle rego (ID) does not not stop driving offences but the arguement you seem to be propounding is akin with doing away with vehicle registration. I'm sure many here would support that but think of the chaos on our roads as a result.
