A tragic story in the implantable microchip saga hit California last month. Lori and Ed Ginsberg had their little Chihuahua “chipped” in order to take him camping, as required by law.

The bizarre, sad tale has spurred people in San Marcos, Texas, to protest mandatory pet chipping, and has given pet owners everywhere some pause.
