Step away from the computer,
Compulsory microchipping, registering every horse/horse owner like we do for cats and dogs, maybe another E.I /Hendra outbreak, Drought, Drugs in Competition.

If at first you do succeed, try not to look astonished...

like the idea of complusary micro chipping.. as this will them make horse owners accountable.
The horse owner who do the right thing will not have to worry at all. The ones that do the wrong thing. Starving, dumping etc... Also if your horse gets out it will make the ranger. (animal management officer)'s job a lot easier to know where it came from

Only responsible owners will micro-chip in the first place. Back yard breeders will still allow for the irresponsible owner to obtain horses who won't bother to micro-chip and will still get away with dumping and starving.
Same with registration.

Didn't mean to offend CP Embarassed I was talking about non-registered breeders of course - I understand the hoops registered breeders have to jump through.

Well we already have to microchip we have no choice (and its been that way for years) so yeah a fee from the Society for the chips and then the cost of getting a vet out to chip foals each year, so yes it does get expensive. But I still think its a good idea to microchip.

Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders & says...
'Oh ****...she's awake!!'

Tis OK Maddy..
its not you just the idea does piss me off..
I'd hate to think anyone thought I wasnt responsible just cos I dont want to micro chip.
I think I personally spend enough..on identifying my horses properly and legally with ANY society they are reg as.


As breeders..
We register to be able to show/breed keep the breed pure..
we DNA to prove parentage and prove the horse is who he is..
we brand so its visible/identifiable and comply with regos to be identifiable at a glance..
next we'll be expected to carry a chip reader everywhere to prove to everyone who asks if its registered.. Embarassed
I consider myself responsible I've done everything I am required to do and more..but I dont wish to micro chip. Confused
Not unless someone wants to pay for it for me..and even then I dont consider it a must.. Rolls Eyes

I'm definatly ok with non BREED reg breeders to do this via chip but dont penalise those who DO do the right thing already.

Same as any dog thats picked up anywhere..it could be sold on...given away..wont make a huge differance unless the council want even MORE $ off you.
When the council or the DPI feels like adding any further levis..for this or that...your stuffed then cos your all on a data base....you will give them more control than you think!

Completely Insane

One issue that's bound to come up again will be "Bio-Security". The EI breakout really highlighted a lot of issues.
