exactly right,all these idiots that cause the bother will just say that the dogs not there's or ive just found it wandering the street,then it will be a case of proving rightful ownership.microchipping will only be any good if the details are kept up to date by the owner.will these scumbags keep the details up to date i think not. so if the dog has been passed on from pillar to post and attacks someone will that mean its the 1st registered owner thats prosecuted or will it be the 2nd or 10th person that the dogs been passed on to.
