http://www.petroglyphsnm.org/catchat...alth_risk.html

heck if I know...it opened up for me this time no problem. I dare say however, why does it have to be a law? Why is this "mandatory" to chip anything or anybody? People can have their animals chipped, heck, chip their kiddos too if that's what they want to do...this is a free country...But I am sorry, I don't believe one word of a study put out by the corrupt FDA, much less when its sponsored by the manufacturer of the "ok'd" item.

If somebody allows their pets to run loose, pick'em up. Hold'em and gas'em if nobody claims them. Worked for a lot of years in this country. My animals stay on my property. It is my concern, my responsibility. I think all gov't employees should be chipped long before they get around to doing the people's pets.

As a side note, I remember back in Albuquerque, mid sixties, there were dog packs running loose on the West Mesa and another down towards Belen. The one in Belen even had monkeys running with the wild dogs. These dogs were killing and eating sheep/cows/chickens whatever was loose...they were hungry of course. But they were also wild and vicious. Hunters solved the problem when the "authorities" could not. Out here where I live, we have no county dog catchers or animal control of any kind that is gov't sponsored. The jagarundi's and the
coyotes take care of any cats and dogs that are abandoned long before they can go wild too.

Oh, you heard some lady on the radio...so it must be true! No need to read the article published by a veterinary pathologist. Or the AVMA. Whatever.

all I said is I heard it causes cancer.... Im NOT trying to prove it causes cancer. I just dont like it from any angle. Or think its needed to correct the problem.

the slippery slope thing is a seperate issue entirely.

If you want to debate me on it, lets talk about why you DONT think its a slippery slope. thinking we already live under the thumb of a technological finger as you laid out isnt a valid reason to me to let it go farther.....

While I believe that there are many "unintended consequenses" of our technologically enhanced society, I don't believe that there is a deliberate master plan to enslave the masses.

I'm a Doomer, not a Tin Foiler, SS.

And sorry if I got yer fur up about the "microchips cause cancer!" dealio, but I prefer science over emotion or intution. You may not like the idea of chipping pets, (to which you are entitled) but it is not harmful to the pet.

Nedwina, no need to debate this aspect, but Id ask you read through the bizarre quotes thread. You are free to feel as you wish, Im fine with that. But you might want to ask yourself why so many in key positions DID believe there was a master plan. If the people running things for 100 plus years have among them many many many people who say they are working to do these things, ANd from where I sit things always move in that direction, rarely another one, I have to assume they are telling the truth. If there isnt a NWO conspiracy. Weve certainly had tons of tin foilers running the show for a long time, without being called on it.

my jag could eat both of 'em...my jag..that's a joke...he resides out back too, a few hundred yards, and lives on the neighbor's goats. And chickens. He'd live on the neighbors if he thought he could get away with it.

They never had a lot of problem with stray dogs and cats in Thailand when I was there. Viet Nam either.

We have the knowledge, and tools. What if the ways we farmed built soil, and water tables instead of draining them? Leaving an oasis in our wake rather then deserts.
