以防丟失, 英格蘭想為所有寵物貓種植芯片
In the future, 英格蘭的鏟屎官們可以更安心的帶貓出去玩了. 據英國媒體報導, 上週一, 英國通過新規,要求所有寵物貓都植入微芯片.
在貓到達之前 20 週齡, the cat owner must implant a Subcutaneous Microchip for his pet, which is about the size of a rice grain and has a unique serial number, which stores the contact information of the cat owner and is regularly updated in the database. As of 10 June 2024, all cat owners are required to microchip their pets, and owners found to have failed to chip their cats will have a 21-day ‘remedial period’ and face fines of up to £500 if they subsequently fail to comply.
The purpose of the regulation is to help lost pet cats return to their owners faster and safer. Environment Secretary Therese Coffey said: “Pet cats are valuable members of the family and if they are lost or stolen, they can be a heavy blow to their owners. “
There are currently more than 9 million pet cats in England, of which 2.3 million are not chipped, according to government figures.
