@GolfNovemberUniform @EUCommission Identifying the animal unequivocally is important. The other option used to be a tattoo, which hurts a lot more.
In which way do you find a microchip unethical?

@GolfNovemberUniform @apicultor @EUCommission Well I consider myself antispeciesist, but I don't think applying a chip to an human is the same to applying it to an animal. @GolfNovemberUniform @apicultor @EUCommission They differs first of all in their behavior: a cat or a dog can escape more easily then an human baby or an human that understand he shouldn't go around. Chips help to bring a pet that has being lost to be found. (sorry for bad english) It's better to have a way to get them back at home then crying because we lost them. @GolfNovemberUniform @Axusse @apicultor @EUCommission cats loosing metal plates exist too. @canleaf @Axusse @apicultor @EUCommission sure but it's a more complicated matter. |
@apicultor @EUCommission I don't see it as an important thing.
I answered in another reply but since people absolutely hate "read the other comment" phrases, it's unethical in the same way as microchiping a human but it's only if you support animal rights.
