Animal protection organizations must embark on an all-out educational campaign to put microchip identification on pets and, if necessary, subsidize the cost. Government officials must come to the realization that there are tremendous animal welfare and financial benefits associated with implementing a community microchip program. Progressive, far-sighted government animal control organizations offer free, lifetime license registration or reduced rate license fees upon proof of a microchip. Shelters and veterinarians must join forces and work progressively to protect pets from harm. A community microchip program will return lost animals home, protect pets from theft and accidental euthanasia, foster responsible animal ownership and produce a healthier pedigree.
Microchips are the main weapon to combat our nations number one animal killer, unidentified animals.
In short, microchips will protect pets and save animal lives.
