Who has a pet in the house to take responsibility as owner by implanting a microchip and registering a pet?

Invite the pet owner to take the younger to bury the microchip and register the pet to show responsibility as the owner. By taking the younger to bury the microchip and register the pet, it can help identify the pet's identity and the owner's information, reduce disputes or switching the pet, increase the chances of finding the pet when lost, prevent the abandonment of the pet to become a stray animal. It also helps the BMA to have more accurate pet and stray animal data to analyze the animal population.
