  According to a Sunday newspaper every new pet dog will be microchipped under sweeping Government regulations to combat dangerous animals.
  Each puppy born and dog sold will have an electronic chip implanted under the skin. Details will then be placed on a national database accessible by police and the RSPCA.
  
  But the proposals last night prompted criticism from MPs and animal experts. They claim that the moves will unfairly penalise the law-abiding owners of Britain's eight million dogs and will do nothing to tackle the problems posed by dangerous breeds such as pitbulls and Japanese tosas.
  
  The Dogs Trust estimates that around 800,000 puppies are born each year.
  The ownership of dog licenses was abolished in the United Kingdom in 1988. It was mandatory to have one as a dog owner up until this time and cost only 371⁄2p. But it was phased out because it was widely ignored and regarded as ineffective.
  
  I think this legislation is long overdue I am sick of irresponsible dog owners letting their pooches pooh at will .Also it astonishes me the number of owners whose slobbering dog built like a brick outhouse approach my daughter with the phrase " he likes or is good with kids..he never bites.." Well no cos if it ever did it would have been topped but more importantly although the dog may be good with kids some kids are scared and not good with dogs. Bring in this legislation and each dog ,stray ,those on ropes and used as drug users bodyguard can be swiped or put to sleep.
