Atlantic Regional Summit

Hello animal people,

Check out this information – I plan to attend. It would be good to convince all HRM animal control/services staff to attend this summit.

I am especially concerned about the identification of deceased pets since I discovered last week that HRM does NOT check for microchips when they dispose of a pet carcass. Microchips can be an effective way of reuniting lost pets with their owners, but it would be good if municipalities would start to scan the dead bodies to see if they were micro-chipped so the owner can be identified and become aware of the outcome of their lost pet.
