Implant "chip-a-thon" as fundraiser against cancer (!?!)

Last Updated Saturday, 11 April 2009 16:16

I thought I'd seen every lame thing the RFID industry could dish up to support microchipimplants, but this is over the top.An upcoming "Chip-a-thon" in Northern Pennsylvania will inject pets with microchips -- to raisemoney for the American Cancer Society!http://www.poconorecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090411/NEWS/904110358These are the same microchips that cause cancer in 1% to 10% of laboratory animals thatreceive them. Peer reviewed journal articles have shown to be related to cancerous tumors in atleast two dogs.This promotional puff piece contains no mention of cancer, the recent death of CharlieBrown--the chihuahua that bled to death in January from a chip implant, chip migration, chipfailure, MRI incompatibility, function creep, societal downsides, industry deception, religiousopposition -- nothing.The Pocono Record should be ashamed at passing this off as balanced journalism. We need tostart calling journalists and editors on the carpet whenever they print biased promotional piecesthat support the implant industry. They need to investigate and report the facts. Chip implantsare dangerous, and should not be put into living beings. Could one of you (or many of you) write a letter to the editor about this horrible article? At thevery least we need some serious comments in the "Respond to this article" section.And would any of you in Northern Pennsylvania be interested in protesting this event? It's nextSunday, April 19th, from 10:00 to 4:00 in Saylorsburg, PA. Maybe a few CASPIAN memberscould show up and peacefully hand out flyers to educate unwary pet owners. Let me know ifyou're interested in coordinating or attending the event and I'll spread the word.Meanwhile, research studies on the link between microchip implants and cancer are available atwww.antichips.com.For inspiration, check out the TV coverage of our 300+ person anti-implant protest in SanMarcos!http://www.katherinealbrecht.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3049:san-marcos-protest-media-coverage&catid=3:newsflash&Itemid=49orhttp://tinyurl.com/cwjj9uIn freedom,Katherine Albrecht, Ed.D.Oh, and here's the chipping ad er, "news article":
