Rejected petition Say No to compulsory dog microchipping save a dogs life

More details

Marta Vascellari proves a need for further examination and precaution about microchip implants

This issue remains legally obscure. Without the much-needed lifetime studies across the range of pedigree dog breeds the microchip should be strictly voluntary. No accurate predictor of safety exists at the moment. After all pedigree dogs, closely bred for type, may display varying resistance to cancer. That is why they currently use pedigree dogs in genetic studies of cancer.

The truth is we don’t have exact figures on microchip safety and we do have reason to doubt that safety and the intents of those selling it to us as fact:

Cancer Links
Spinal cord injuries
Microchip Implant Migration
Damage to dogs during play
Poor quality training for non-Veterinary Implanters
Possbile MRI incompatibility
Low frequency RFID EMF problems
Soft tissue sarcoma
