Typically pets are registered and chipped here - a vet inserts a grain of rice RFID pellet under the pet’s skin. The information on that pellet can be scanned fairly easily, so it is no trouble to find the owner. If unregistered the animal goes to the RSPCA (where it is registered and chipped before being offered for adoption). |

Unless you can stop the universe, the only way way to reduce suffering in it is helping humanity's technological and moral progress in life ... by arguing with strangers on the internet ;) Even the Zen Buddhist from xrunner's Kung Fu clip has a more productive way to deal with suffering, go around and teach people it doesn't matter. Zen can not keep the cat from ripping up the carpet though, it can just teach you it's not a problem. Technology in the form of say a scratching post and positive/negative rewarded behaviour modification can keep the cat from ripping up the carpet. Zen and technology both provide solutions, suicide is just avoiding responsibility. |
