Vets not concerned about microchips

RFID technology has been questioned in line with the laboratory findings that found tumors and cancerous growths in lab mice and rats. Despite the hail of protests of individuals, the chips are being used on animals and lately (2005) on human patients. Only this year, Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers were chipped in an experimental move for RFID to be of use on people with neurological illness and normal human beings (caregivers).

Nay sayers have made the argument valid since a retired toxicologic pathologist explained that in the 1990's tumors were indeed caused in the lab mice and rats.  Cancer specialists had reviewed the research and have recommended further research though cautioned that the studies on animals are not necessarily applied to humans. Though when asked if they'd agree to have family members of theirs chipped, all declined and asked for further research before they would permit it to happen.

Two veterinarians who have treated and are treating animals with RFID chipping do not find any significance, since none of their patients have cancer that was associated to the glass-enclosed RFID.

What the panic-stricken refuse to see is that a reported 8000 pet cats and dogs have been united and found because of this technology. An RFID chip works like a beacon which locates the signal, when the signal goes out of bounds of the lawn an alarm is activated which the RFID service provider informs the pet owner of.

These glass enclosed chips are hardly a nuisance, the present design is glass enclosed and refined.
