If the microchip turns up on a dog, who follows through on enforcement? If I bought a microchip, decided to implant it in a dog, then a vet scanned it, that microchip is not registered to anyone, so surely there is an illegal act if somebody is registering that microchip? Who follows up on it if the microchip shows up anywhere or the dog shows up on the streets?
