But confusion among different manufacturers is making it difficult for some animal shelters to pick up on the microchip with their

LISA HAD A MICROCHIP WITH HER OWNERS CONTACT INFORMATION IMPLANTED IN
HAYDEN AT A BANFIELD PET HOSPITAL..ONE DAY HAYDEN ESCAPED -- AND ENDED
UP IN A SHELTER. BUT THE OPERATORS DIDN'T REALIZE THE SCANNER THEY WERE
USING WOULDN'T WORK WITH THE CHIP IMPLANTED BY BANFIELD. HAYDEN WAS PUT
TO SLEEP.
"i want other people to be aware i'm not against microchipping is good I
think microchipping is good, but they just need to be aware they have
the correct chip in their animal."
BANFIELD HAS SOME 350 HOSPITALS .. MAINLY IN PETSMARTS AROUND THE
COUNTRY. THEY IMPLANT CHIPS IN PETS -- AT A COST OF ABOUT THIRTY DOLLARS
EACH.
(stand up) RICK SALLINGER
(while technology has come a long way to help reunite owners with their
lost pets many shelter operators believe it's also getting in the way)
SO HUMANE SOCIETIES ACROSS AMERICA HAVE ASKED BANFIELD TO STOP
IMPLANTING ITS CHIPS. THEY SAY BANFIELD GOT IT BACKWARDS, IMPLANTING THE
CHIPS BEFORE MAKING SURE THERE WERE SUFFICIENT SCANNERS AVAILABLE TO
READ THEM.
BOB RHODE-DENVER DUMB FRIENDS LEAGUE
"We're not really concerned about who gets the revenues from those chips
we're concerned about getting those pets back to their owners."
(meow)
SO HOW BIG IS THE PROBLEM? IN THE DENVER AREA 75% OF THE SHELTERS WE
CONTACTED DID NOT HAVE SCANNERS CAPABLE OF READING THE MICROCHIPS
IMPLANTED BY BANFIELD. YET AT MANY OF THE COMPANY'S CLINICS WE WERE NOT
WARNED ABOUT THIS WHEN WE VISITED WITH A HIDDEN CAMERA::
Does everybody have these scanners?
Employee: Uh Huh.
Or does the dog have to be brought back here?
Employee: Banfields and all the local shelters around, they've got these
scanners.
DR. DOUG DILWORTH IS A MEDICAL DIRECTOR FOR BANFIELD PET HOSPITALS.
do you feel banfield is being perfectly upfront with customers about
the readability of these microchips? i feel we are doing our best to
inform them..if there are cases where that has not been done we need to
make sure that is done. i think that's why you are here today.
BUT BANFIELD SAYS THE CHIPS IT USES ARE EASIER TO DETECT, LESS LIKELY TO
MOVE ONCE INSIDE THE PET AND CHOSEN BY THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
ORGANIZATION..USED IN 148 COUNTRIES. CRITICS POINT OUT THE U.S. IS NOT
ONE OF THEM.
PATRICIA MERCER-HOUSTON SPCA
"i think this is very irresponsible of profit making corporations to put
their focus on making a buck at the same time they are selling a false
sense of security to people."
BANFIELD HAS NOW ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL STOP SHIPPING ITS MICROCHIPS TO
ITS PET HOSPITALS UNTIL SCANNERS CAN BE PLACED IN ALL SHELTERS WITHIN 25
MILES OF EACH OF ITS FACILITES.
Dr. Doug Dilworth-Banfield
"we are working to get more scanners in place...all the large shelters
were targeted and we should have scanners."
BUT AS THE INDUSTRY FIGHTS OVER WHAT TYPE OF MICROCHIP WILL PREVAIL,
PETS REMAIN UNCLAIMED AND SOMETIMES ARE PUT TO DEATH.
