Bobtanian, Responsible Dog breeders would never let a stranger take a puppy under those circumstances, |

Good idea in theory, but the cost may deter the the less well-off. Its a more up to date version of the dog licence and collar with contact details. |

I also would like to see tougher sentencing on animal cruelty .,if people cannot afford vet bills don't have animals, too many don't even bother to have their animals neutered and wormed which is basic care |

Not sure how this is going to be policed. Same old thing, responsible owners will probably comply, and the rest wont bother. |

The dogs I have seen with the homeless are often better looked after than the ones who live in houses, their welfare comes first, because they are the homeless person's 'best friend and companion' when no one else cares. |

Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind? |

Our current dog came from a rescue centre, our vet estimated she was between 6 and 9 months when we got her. |

In N. Ireland the Dogs Trust offered free chipping to pensioners and those on low incomes - and a reduced price of around £9 to rest of dog owners up to a certain date. |

l agree with compulsory chipping 100%......perhaps all vets need to check for chip each time a dogs comes in, if it does'nt have one, the owner is fined on the spot the cost of chipping and its done then and there....if the owners are caring enough to take the dog to the vets and able to pay the bills, then they should have animal chipped:)) |

I think it is good, I have my dog chipped and my cats when they were alive..My dog is also castrated and so were my cats as I don't like the thought of them being bred..There are so many animals in need of good homes and it makes me mad when you see puppy farms and people breeding just for the money... |

Yes, I agree with it but I am unsure how they are going to force those who live outside of the law to get their status symbols chipped. I think Judes idea is a good one too. |
