The City of Los Angeles' animal shelters now require all animals adopted from their facilities be given an identification microchip implant.

After several years of debate and study, the Los Angles City Council approved a measure to require that, as of Aug. 1, adopted animals be given a small electronic implant that would identify the owner of the pet. While the program has been discussed for many years, cost considerations for increased staff and computer equipment held up its implementation until now.

Both our cats have microchip IDs. However, judging from the way they follow my every move and listen attentively to my phone calls, I suspect there is more going on than that. Um, can't say any more, they're looking at the monitor now...

That's great, but then again it's pretty appalling that it took so long to implement a program that's basically standard in animal shelters throughout North America. Better late than never, I guess ...

Adopted animals today, adopted CHILDREN tomorrow

Is microchip implantation really that bad of a thing?!? I personally would be one of the 1st to sign up for it if I thought that its use was a good one.
There are way toooo many crazies out there in this day and age to overlook the potential safety concerns of not having something like this!

It's amazing what the fear-state has been able to convince people of. Percentage wise, very few children are kidnapped, and those are generally by a relative (non-custodial parent). But the hype has gotten parents so terrified that they have their children fingerprinted. At least an implanted chip can be removed. Once you relinquish your fingerprints, they don't change- you are, as they say in the States "in the system".

A chip implanted? Ayeesh! I think even Koreans have a better sense of privacy and waryness of government than that!

666 is on every barcode, on every product in the world already.


Rev 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:


Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.


Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six.

Microchipping animals makes it harder for people to abandon them without having to face the consequences. It enables lost animals to be returned to their families instead of staying lost forever. We can debate the pros and cons of microchipping children when pounds have freezers full of dead children no one gave a *beep* about.

What a fucking stupid discussion.

However did you manage to unmask me?
