Mr. Conor Dowling:

I would like to echo that. I think it is a fabulous idea and somebody needs to invent it. On the issue of non-compliance with microchipping regulations, there are perhaps two different types. With the information not being updated, sometimes that is caused by just a lack of awareness, knowledge, thinking and foresight. Perhaps what we are dealing with is symptomatic of a bigger welfare problem. For example, if an owner has not brought their puppy to a vet to have it vaccinated as a pup, they are not likely to have it microchipped. It is all part of the bigger picture. In respect of the people that we deal with more often, there is a lack of various compliances with welfare and identification issues.
