I have read that those who are concerned about government intrusion are also concerned about the national ID that our lawmakers have decided that we need. The have been going over and over how to enforce a national ID without people being able to forge it. One option they have considered is the chip. I hope that would be met with a national outcry. We are not cattle that need to be branded but government is always trying to over step it's boundaries.
Both the shelters in our areas have scanners. The vets in our area use the same chip company so it has worked pretty well for animals that are chipped.
As for chipping kids? There are so many reasons why this is not necessary, including finger prints. |
