I wasn't suggesting to chip humans.....I don't get where that came up.
I've heard of that, actually. I have more mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I can see how it can be very useful. People who end up lost can be tracked down faster, thus increasing the chances of saving lives. On the other hand, though, some people may see the chip as an "invasion of privacy" and could be misused in the wrong hands.
However, this topic is about microchipping pets, not humans. If anyone would like to discuss the idea of microchipping humans, perhaps creating a new topic would be a good idea.
Anyway, back on topic. Yeah I'm aware of the fact that people do steal pets. That is why I'll most likely try to have any future pet of mine microchipped so I'll be able to find them if they are in fact stolen (or just simply get loose).
