Chip Implants

I adopted a dog from the humane society and was asked whether or not I wanted her chipped...without giving much thought I gave them the permission to do so...I would like the opinions of my fellow ATS'ers on this subject...files.abovetopsecret.com...

Well, now if your dog runs away, you will always be able to find it.

And as a complimentary benefit, your dog gets to belong to Legion of Satan via mark of the beast(dog).

Wait, the Humane Society puts chip implants in animals? I'm probably in the minority here on ATS when I say that the only kind of chips that belong in humans or pets is some Cool Ranch Doritos.

On second thought..Doritos probably don't belong in animals either

Why would you want it removed? If your dog gets lost by having it chipped you can get it back.

(Just don't talk around the dog, what you say will be relayed back to the Kanine Kontrol Kentre)

I guess it's just a matter of principle and philosophical hogwash. You have the advantage of being able to track down your lost dog.

The disadvantage is mostly a moral issue. I think the people who cite the advantage listed above would say the greater moral obligation is to find your lost pet.

But let's not get too deep What's done is done. Your dog will remember the good times and not the time he was upgraded.

I know right??? and shes always staring at me like that...its outright creepy

Its no biggy. Its a simple RFID chip with a broadcast range of about ten feet if that. Its not a video camera, microphone, or GPS tracking device. If your dog gets loose and picked up by animal control/fire department/police, they'll scan the dog, get your address/phone number, and contact you to come get him.

You have more to worry about from a smart phone, Xbox 360, or laptop with built in camera than you do the chip in your dog.

Just don't take him into a Walmart or something.' He'll trigger the alarms.
