I am seriously upset by the thought of all the dogs destroyed in shelters every year. There is a simpler solution to the ones I have been reading about.
A law that every dog needs to be chipped and the owner put on file in a national database. Vets & Kennels will need to check that every dog is chipped and in the database.
If a dog winds up in a shelter, the owners can then be found and notified.
• If the owner no longer wants the dog and cannot find a new home for the animal; the shelter will determine if the dog needs to be put down.
• The owner will then be fined and have to sign away the right to ever own a dog again.
• If they are caught owning another dog there should be legal consequences.
All other legislation makes only dog breeders responsible; but every human being should be accountable. The real problem is the person who gets a dog without taking responsibility for their actions. With this law people will come to realize a pet is not a toy.
Microchipping is not dangerous and it can help save animals lives read this article http://www.vethelpdirect.com/blog/2010/09/28/microchipping-molly/
If you want to have your pet microchipped you can do it for free with the RSPCA
