LOS ANGELES (AP) - When Gabriela Dorame of Fullerton, Calif., got a German shepherd puppy named Bolto last year, she and her kids decided to have a microchip implanted in the dog with an identification number that makes it easy to reunite lost pets with owners.
It paid off a day later when the rambunctious puppy bolted through an open door. Animal control officers found the dog, scanned him and knew immediately where he belonged, Dorame said.

WCHS does it. It is mandatory. I like it.
ReplyDeleteThe progression of government control . . .
ReplyDelete1) Next, it will be required for all dogs and cats, not just those "adopted or claimed from a shelter."
2) In the not too distant future, someone will figure that these microchips will also work well in identifying lost children.
3) At first, embedding microchips in children will be voluntary, but in a short time some "lawmaker" will figure it needs to be a law that's mandatory for all children.
4) Hey, if it works good for kids, why not adults too? Might it help guard against identity theft? Sure, a "lawmaker" should introduce a new bill!
5) And why have just you ID (name, address, phone number, perhaps social security number)? We could add your driver's license info, how about your driving record? What about your medical history?--sure, lawmakers will love that idea, they can probably dig up some story about someone who was hit by a car and would have lived but due to a medical condition, that was unknown by the doctors, the person died due to lack of special treatment; surely justification for having it for everyone.
6) Can your credit info be far behind? Why not just add your debit card info in the embedded microchip? Once the government controls health care, all travel permissions, and food distribution, it makes total sense that this single government-issued microchip will be your ticket to prosperity, hope, and change.
