INTERVIEW: Vet Bronwyn Orr on fears for missing pets as Australian microchip registry moves offline
from Weekend One on One
Pet owners could soon confront obstacles when it comes to locating a missing pet. Private Australian pet microchip registry HomeSafeID has published a notice on their website that states they will likely go offline in the future as the owner of the site is no longer communicating or paying for the hosting of the site. This means potentially tens of thousands of Australian pet owners will no longer be able to reach their pet's registration data in the unfortunate instance they go missing... meaning vets or shelters won't be able to determine their owners. In this episode of Weekend One on One, SBS' Alexandra Koster spoke to veterinarian Dr Bronwyn Orr about the implications of this registry going offline.
