Some People Will Steal Anything 2

Cat 'owners' in the UK may be threatened with fines, of up to £500, if they do not get their pet microchipped and registered (https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/apr/15/plans-for-compulsory-microchips-for-cats-amid-rise-of-thefts-in-uk). Over the pandemic, there has apparently been a more than 12% increase in cat thefts. The plan is aimed to reduce thefts. The only comments I would make is that a) Nobody, actually 'owns' a cat -they are quite capable of rehoming themselves and b) It is very likely that more kittens will be killed, if they have to be expensively implanted.
