I would like to congratulate Minister for Rural Affairs and the Environment George Pullicino for the sterling work he is doing towards the protection of pets. However, I feel that the microchipping cost needs to be reviewed. I am the proud owner of three dogs which were all strays and it will cost me €60 to have them microchipped. I don’t think that’s fair. Moreover, I am quite sure more dogs will end up in the streets because of this. So why not make the cost more attractive? It’s already very difficult to cope with the existing bills.
