Links below are from the above site above, to show you examples, the site is highly recommended for those who think realistically about what your country is doing, and what AR fanatics are doing…to animal owners……..not surprisingly, it’s about $$$ and no privacy left for people.
WARNING FOR ANYONE WHO DOES might think about MICROCHIPPING THEIR ANIMALS…………”DON’T DO IT!” and forget about microchipping your kids or yourself for any reason. It was already done in California to kids and the result was big trouble. It was also attempted nationally for livestock and was legally thwarted by the same gal that set up the “no chip” site named above. Here ya go:
| “We are volunteers dedicated to informing the public about the dangers of animal chipping and dispelling misconceptions the industry has spread about implantable microchips.Our group includes pet owners whose animals have been adversely affected by microchip implants and pet lovers who do not want to see other animals suffer. Our group was co-founded by RFID microchip expert and researcher Dr. Katherine Albrecht and University of Michigan graduate student Lidiya Prorochuk.” | |

PD: Microchipping is NOT a good idea and never actually has been a good idea. Proponents always claim that it ‘saves’ animals but the reality is that if you are very responsible with your animal and it gets stolen, you likely won’t be able to recover it using the microchip data since you won’t even know where the animal is to begin with, and if it was actually stolen, the thief will resell it. When the bona fide purchaser might attempt to microchip it themselves, and if a doctor finds the microchip already there, you then have a legal issue as to who owes who what $$$, and who takes the animal?
It is our opinion that stolen animals do not later get microchipped. If you were careful your pet would likely not be out on the street although we realize accidents do happen. Even so, we do not like, approve, or recommend any microchipping and would never do it to any animal we might own. Surprisingly, animal rights does NOT consider “chipping” to be animal abuse, despite the risks that it could end up killing your animal and lawsuits are filed against makers of the chips, or the vets that insert the chips.
If a thief actually breaks into your house or steals your animals, it is highly unlikely you will recover the animal via microchip. If your animal was recovered that way, we would be shocked. Yeah, yeah, we know about the alleged “rescuers” supposedly allegedly stealing or moving the dogs from CA to another state, where allegedly some dogs are “chipped”….won’t believe it until they are actually convicted and in jail. If any rescuer actually stole all those dogs we would be surprised. But isn’t that “ANIMAL ABUSE????”
The REAL reason for any “chipping” is actually NOT for the animal, but for companies to make $$$ off the backs of animal OWNERS, and groups like H$U$ buy the stock, and second, to then TRACK animal OWNERS– NOT the animals. Get it? Just like SMART PHONES track you 24/7? Same deal. When is enough enough???! See more…….

Pet Defense 
They are trying/ have made Chipping mandatory in riverside, ca.
We are against it of course. We suggest everyone in riverside CA move elsewhere.
That’s just shit. It’s just to make money like neutering, declawing, and most other unnecessary operations on animals. It doesn’t help the animal or help the owner find them. If they’re to find the animal why don’t they come with a tracker for the owner to know where the animal is?
I’m of two minds about this. Yes, I know that chipping can cause cancer. But I also know that chipping can confer proof of ownership. When you have a high value breed (pit bulls in some areas are hot commodities, and toy dogs of any breed or mix in most areas), and this dog is stolen.. Something that happens more often than you would think, because dog theft is not treated as a serious crime. How do you prove this dog is yours? And lets face it, to most people one lab, yorkie, or maltese looks pretty much like another.
Yes, there is tattooing, but tattoos can be altered. What then?
I once had a dog escape my yard, collarless. Though I had his registration paperwork, I didn’t have a picture of this dog with me in the picture, so the spca would not release the dog to me. I went there every day for three days begging them to give me back my dog, including a faxed affidavit from the breeder with a picture of the dog from before I’d bought him (which is when I was told I needed a picture of me and the dog together), until the last day, when they killed him. Had he been microchipped (or tattooed, I concede), Timberline wouldn’t have died because it would have been proof of ownership.
It was their “policy”.
I have also known a few breeders who have received calls from shelters stating they had their dog. A dog they’d sold a few years before, but had chipped the dog, and was secondary contact on the chip. Every one of these breeders were happy to have the dog they bred back.
So it’s a two edged sword. Breeders and pet owners alike have to weigh out the pros and cons. Generally, I would avoid chipping cats or dogs with genetic or viral compromised immune systems.
In the links you posted, one of them even states
“The research concerning microchipped canines is far more sketchy; in fact, the AP was able to uncover only two such studies. In one study, the implanted chip was blamed for the malignant growth while in the other one the exact cause of the cancer could not be pinpointed.”
I confess to not having followed all of them, but this was on the very first link I clicked. Another link has links to studies and overviews of the two dogs that were mentioned above. One dog was a 9 year old Bulldog possibly a Frenchie, the other was 11 years old, and I didn’t see the breed. Frenchies (and English, the University of Georgia mascots Uga 14 and 15 both died of cancer) are known to catch cancer, so there could be other causes, though no doubt the chip aggravated a possible underlying genetic factor.
Please understand I am not dismissing anecdotal evidence. Many times that is all we have to force a study, especially when there is a large company that is making money off of a situation blocking the release of information. As I have said, I do believe that chipping can cause cancer. But I also believe in some cases, it may be a necessary evil. It’s up to the individual owner of each pet to decide and act on what they think is best.
By the way, thank you for the time and effort you have put into this blog. I agree with most of everything you have said here, and I feel you’re doing the pet owner world a great service by showing them again and again and again the dangers of the AR fanatics.
