The microchips used in animals to track them when they get lost, run away, or are kidnapped.
My dog, Charlie. He has been microchipped.
Not only does the government want to monitor who comes in and out of their countries, not only do people want to monitor who their children talk to and what they say, we now have devices to monitor where our pets are at all times. It is understandable that when one has a housepet, and the pet is kidnapped or runs away, it is imperative to find it as soon as possible because it is apart of your family. But forcing animals to be controlled and microchipped against their will (because technically, their will doesn’t matter) seems cruel. Of course, I am a hypocrite and my dog has been microchipped in case he is stolen or lost. But the fact of the matter is that we are pushing technology onto animals when they have no say about whether or not they want to be found when they run away.
We test animals in labratories to see if the make-up has an allergic reaction to them, to make sure that we don’t ruin our own faces first. We test cloning, fertility and steriod drugs on animals before we dare put them into our bodies. But they can’t say no. We don’t know if they understand what is happening, and even if they do, they have no choice but to be tranquilized and force to face their demise.
Technology is as good as it is evil.
