[nagdu] ID's/ Implants!

[Sherry Gomes]

I don't really think about the tattoos. People often can't read them anyway.
But I feel strongly about chipping, inserting a foreign body into my dog so
it can be tracked. Freaks me out bad. Too many suspense novels or something.
I figure tattoos aren't like branding at least. No, I know chips aren't
branding either of course. It's just not something I like. It's been forced
on me when I adopt cats, and I hate it then too.

I'm curious, do you prefer the tattoos over the microchips? For me,
the tattoos freak me out a lot more because I hate needles and I
wouldn't want to subject any dog to those horrible things. :)
