Every dog to be chipped??

[dpb82uk 138]

how would it work on a litter of pups???

 

say a litter of rotties / dobbies / yellow black or choc labs (all the same colour litter)

 

do you:-

 

1) chip them all at 8 weeks old before they go to new homes??

 

problem being without having a chip reader in the house how do you know what pup is which, for the chip number?

 

2) take everyowner to the vets with new said pup and chip it then?

 

problem being not all new puppy owners come between vet hours, plus the price traveling back and too the vets.

 

3) or do you just log the new owners details and forward them on to a body thats covering this wonderful idea

 

also will police be having a add on scanner on their belt to spot check dogs?

new owner can chip the pup them self / if you get a pup chiped then you get a call sayin thay got a pup off sum one els wood piss me off

Ratreeper it's not the price of the chip, sure they were doing them for free for over a year there. So ££s not the issue with it at the minute although it soon will be. It's a shit idea and it's not bullet proof as they can be easily removed they could possibly interfere with location equipment also and the list goes on. Maybe ud need to go sort yourself out. Compulsory insurance good idea ? There's enough taxes, insurances, licence fees etc. all a load off bullshit. what if some cu&t cleans your kennels, you'll not care because your insured ??? Id feel like that about my car but not my working dogs. Fk that man. Tattoo or branding I'd be up for quicker than any of that bollocks. Atb

Insurance isn't so you get your money back if your dog gets stolen, it is so you can afford vet bills. It would stop all the shitty DIY surgery people do with a stapler for one thing. But also it would stop lots of dogs being PTS if it is cheaper to just buy a new pup. Basically, if you have to actually pay for more than food maybe fewer dickheads would buy puppies on a whim and there would be fewer litters being bred by people out to make some quick money. If you have spend £30 per pup, then insure them then only the more dedicated would breed. Heaven forbid maybe some thought would go in to making sure the dogs are worth breeding from and more people who get their pets neutered to avoid the costs of it.

Yes it discriminates against the poor who can't afford it, but if you can't afford a dog you should fecking have one. If £20 a month is too much to justify on insurance so you can keep a dog then you don't want it enough, the same goes for those with 12 dogs, if you can't look after 12 and pay for 12 trips to the vet then what are you doing owning them in the first place?

 

So I stand by what I said, because even if this is just a scam to get more taxes then maybe that is a necessary evil to stop bad owners. Although I am still on the fence, because I am completely against the dangerous dogs act and everything it stands for. I don't think microchipping or insurance will stop dangerous dogs, but it is a deterrent against peddlers and shitty breeding so it is a tricky one.

I can afford trips to the vets but I don't see why that means I have to have insurance....i might prefer to put a little aside each month, I might have independant means ...why the feck should I have to have insurance if I choose not to ! having insurance wont mean people will look after their dogs any better, the insurance companies don't always cough up and as always happens the responsible people will take it out , those that already look after their animals and those that don't just wont register or take any insurance out.
