Great products that could allow you to find your pet quickly. It can be very tough to locate a pet missing or stolen. Hoping laws will change to get more help from the law when any living being is stolen. It is animal abuse but only treated like a stolen bike here anyway. THERE IS NO WAY A LIVING BEING IS ABDUCTED AND HAS NOT AT BARE MINIMUM SUFFERED EMOTIONAL ABUSE. ANIMAL THEFT IS ANIMAL ABUSE - TO BAD OUR LAWS DO NOT SEEM TO SEE IT THAT WAY. Seems you are on your own to find stolen pets and there are few laws protecting the real victims. Wish everyone would get this collar and tattoo id the family pets. Personally I think many more pets are stolen than people realize. Hope I am wrong but this would be a sure way to know.================================================ Lost, Missing or Stolen Pet – Helpful Notes below.
