Hi, I'm new here!

Hi, I only came here as I wanted to cross post the government petition for Dolly's Directive. I'm a member on several forums and have crossposted a link to the government website in order for the maximum number of people to sign the petition to persuade the goverment to make the compulsory scanning of dogs- for microchips, law. At the moment, police, council pounds and other dog collections bodies, do not automatically scan for chips.
It would save much legwork and heartache if they did!
That's why I'm posting. Please advise me if this would be receive more attention elsewhere on the site. I'll no doubt be a more active member after this as I adore my boys and tends to love dogs generally so I'm sure I'll be a regular visitor.

PLEASE SIGN (if you are in agreement) AND CROSSPOST.

THANKS.

Dolly's Directive - E Petition for Routine Scanning for Microchips
Update 26th June 2008

In February 2005, Dolly Mixture, a microchipped Jack Russell Terrier disappeared without a trace. Her owner, Mrs Candy King searched for her loyal companion, and soon learnt of the inadequacies within the microchipping system.

THERE IS NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT TO ROUTINELY SCAN PETS FOR MICROCHIPS

Candy was determined to do something about this loop-hole in the much promoted microchipping system. Supported by DogLost, Dolly's Directive was launched.

The directive requests routine and compulsory scanning of all dogs, new and existing, by all organisations that come into contact with dogs such as vets, police, stray dog kennels, re-homing centres and any other animal welfare charities.

If you have microchipped pets - this affects you!

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?

Show your support to this directive, it will only take a few minutes of your time, complete the online petition today.
