Improve The Pet Microchip System To Help Reunite Missing And Stolen Pets #ScanMe

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

 A microchip is not proof of ownership, we are not owners we are 'keepers' - which only indicates where the pet resides and this favours the finder in an ownership dispute. Database procedures need improvement and the veterinarians must help their customers update microchip registration.

In a civil court action to get a microchipped pet home: 
Police Crime Reference Number 
Photographs 
Purchase receipt 
Vet bills 
Kennel Club registration 
Insurance papers 
Proof you have been searching for your pet.

Remember it is still not compulsory for the veterinary profession to scan and cross check microchip registration on a pets 1st visit, it's 'recommended' and 'best practice' but that is not mandatory and we are being duped into thinking that microchips will help trace our pets.

Why it was rejected
