All Dogs in England Must be Microchipped Before 2016

Wow, this quite honestly makes me sad. We as humans are allowed to make choices for ourselves because we can talk,etc. Now that we have pets that don't have the same abilities as us, so we are forced to make a good decision on their behalf. This "law" is just absurb to me because owners need to have a choice in such a operation even if in the long run it may benefit them. I hope something in this case will change or hopefully someone will speak up on behalf of all pet owners that this should not be a requirement.
