Breeders should be held ultimately responsible for the life of the animal, but people who purchase or adopt an animal should also be held responsible, becfaude they would be the ones that abvandoned or dumped them.
I cannot imagine why any caring, responsible dog owner would not be happy that their dog was chipped. If your dog is stolen a collar and tag can be removed, it never occured to me that someone would actually remove the chip.
As far as privacy, only people who have something to hide need privacy. |
like if someone is willing to cut open their dog to remove a chip because the breeders details is on it?
also, my dexter (a rescue) has the details of his previous owners on his chip. his momma had to leave him behind when she left the home, leaving him to be used as a chew toy/ bait dog by their bigger dog and to be thrown across the room by his (now broken in 2 places) leg- which got a lollipop stick tied to it at the time... i cant get in touch with his previous momma, i also can't get the chip which is registered to her husbands address removed or changed, so i'm in trouble if i ever lose him- but he does have a council license tag on him- and i would search the entire country to get him back if need be.
of course i Could remove the chip myself and get another one put in, but i don't really fancy A. breaking the law or B. cutting open my dog without anesthetic just so my details are on the chip... and i think i have a better reason than you for wanting it removed- but hey, i could be wrong... it happens!
and yes- we can only assume that cutting it out herself is exactly what she meant as she didn't denied it once. also, is such a thing allowed on this YORKIE LOVING site? along with breeding an under ideal sized girl?
