All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.

Microchip company ceases operations, pet owners urged to re-register

Animal shelters, rescues, and veterinarian clinics around the U.S. are posting on social media telling pet owners to check their four-legged friends' microchips after learning a major microchip company [called Save This Life] is no longer providing services. [...] If you're unsure which company your cats or dogs' chips are registered with, check them. "You can go to your local veterinarian office, a local police station, or even a local animal shelter like HARP, and we can help check that for you and scan your animal. And then you take that number that's on there and there's a tool online where you can go look it up," [said Dan Cody, Executive Director of Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh].

He said you check the number by using the AAHA Universal Microchip Lookup Tool at this link. If you discover your pet's microchip was registered to the company that's ceased operations, you'll need to register with a different company. "So, if you find that you are affected by this, you're going to want to go to one of these other websites that do the registrations. So, things like AKC Reunite, and PetLink. 24PetWatch these are all large companies who've been around for a long time and have good reputations," said Cody.

All my cats are safe. But I've always worried about CFC's dad's cat. :cat:
If you can't be a good example, you can still serve as a horrible warning.

Thanks for the information Qiller, appreciate it. My dogs are also good for this. I am, however, currently standing by on a Rainbow Bridge watch for one of our old gals. Gonna be a rough couple of days coming up here.
What if it was one guy with six guns?
