Are you saying scientists doing cancer research are in cohoots with comercial breeders?
This is why I don't feel secure allowing any implants at this time. One one side the chip companies and any one else who stands to profit from the sale of chips will state how safe they are, put it in and forget it, and you have the added sense of security that you'll get your lost pet back.
One the other side are the advocates for not chipping saying there is the real potential of health risks of cancerous tumors forming around the implant....
Without a definitive unbiased long term study this debate will continue because no study exists, as of yet. At this point in time *I* just can't do it and feel I did a good thing for my pets health.. |
I would chip and take the chance. After what I just went through with the woman there is no way I would ever change my mind. I cried when she emailed me to tell me she gave the dog away.
As for your statement they are never out alone~neither are my three. But a gate was left open and my son was outside. They were all GONE in the blink of an eye. What about the other member who opened the door and two of hers blotted and only one came back. She had taken the collars off for a bath.
If the dog with woman I was talking with would have found a chip the dog would have been returned to it's owner. But without she handed it over to the neighbors mothers friend.
