| After losing my cat Harrison and constantly fearing losing the two cats I have now, I heard about this procedure and thought it wouldn't be a bad idea. Then I thought of how so many people who've lost children would think the same way and suddenly all the negative Big Brother fantasies came to mind.
I suddenly thought of how it could be construed as unethical to micro-chip our animals. What do you think? It is a good idea to be able to keep track of animals at all times (even if it's just to make sure you can find them when they run away or are stolen)? Would this lead to micro-chipping people?

| they said on the news not to long ago that them putting chips into some kids by making them wear a watch.
if they can put a chip into a collar I think that would be okay for an animal so when they have been missing for a couple days you can see where there at or if there ok. but sometimes it's sad because you might find something that you don't want to see so ... I think it be rouch on some people. (Last edited by Broken Dreams on 06-03-05 10:10 PM) |

| The closest I'd ever get to that would be getting one of those pet tags that has a microchip in it. Putting a chip like that into a pet would be optional surgery, and the pet wouldn't have any choice in the matter. I'm not particularly fond of that, in case you couldn't tell. Now, a collar or tag with a chip in it would be fine - but of course, then you've got problems with animals that can get their collars off. Our cat has done that before. | |||

| Are you sure its a tracking chip?
I was under the impression that the chip just carried your Pet's information. Like the owner and the immunizations that it has had. |

| There's different types. There are tracking chips available if you don't want to lose your animal.
Even still it would involve having to put your pet under the knife. I dunno, when my cats were needing to be neutered, the vet had a special going where for $25 more they'd put in a tracking chip. It sounds like a pleasant idea at first, but then after even a moment's thought I was four-square against it. |
