Microchipping for cats becomes compulsory in England
“The new rules mean cats must be implanted with a microchip before they reach the age of 20 weeks ... All owners must have their cat microchipped by 10 June 2024 and owners found not to have microchipped their cat will have 21 days to have one implanted, or may face a fine of up to £500 …“The process of microchipping involves the insertion of a chip, generally around the size of a grain of rice, under the skin …
“The commitment to microchipping is part of a wider Government effort to build on our existing world-leading standards …”

Today… cats.
Tomorrow… citizens.
No doubt some of the first humans in the West to be microchipped will be ‘eager beaver’ volunteers: grossly naive folks who respond to ‘exciting’ government trials that promise ‘free microchipping’ to patients with dementia & other mental illnesses… the elderly & confused… children whose parents want them microchipped as a ‘safety’ precaution… and individuals whose work entails travel to danger zones.
Then, months or years after these inevitably ‘successful’ ‘trials’ are completed, and the results proclaimed a ‘triumph’….
Expect the compulsion.
Laws mandating microchipping of schoolchildren will be passed in the name of society protecting its vulnerable. Public and private sector employers will follow suit, requiring all new & existing employees to be chipped. The benevolent, omnipotent, state taking tender care of its beloved consumer-drones from cradle to grave.
