Microchips for Dangerous Animals?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the jobs-i-don't-want dept.

lucabrasi999 writes "CNN is reporting that Japan is moving towards requiring all owners of potentially dangerous animals (such as crocodiles and pythons) to have microchips installed in case the animal gets loose. Apparently there has been a wave of 'wild' animals that have been escaping their captivity. Did you know that it is actually possible to take your pet snake for a 'walk'?"

    What exactly is a "potentially dangerous" animal?

    You. Especially if you've got a pointy stick.

    Don't come at me with a banana though. I've been trained how to deal with that.

    He posts a LOT and only makes stupid and/or overly obvious points, and he often mis-represents people's comments when replying.

    Basically, he is full of himself, and reviewing a few of his posts reveals him.

      Thank you yet again for bringing the matter of the flaming KOffice developer to our attention.

      Such childish insults are not what I expected from an open source developer. Indeed, it does serve as a good example of what open source developers should not post online.

      The complete lack of professionalism was disturbing, and it is unfortunate that both the KDE and KOffice projects had to suffer damaged reputations because of that single rogue developer.

      You, me, and everyone else. That is "we". We are Slashdot, and we are the open source community. Together we can feel shame in knowing that a developer of our creed has shown such a lack of professionalism.

    I guess that mod doesn't show, because so few TrollMods put their paws on my post. How can "people are the most dangerous animals", in reply to "microchips for dangerous animals?" be "Offtopic"? It isn't. It's just another TrollMod, anonymous suppression of a post they don't like instead of actually disagreeing with it in a post. Where they'd have to show that they're unprepared to debate, that their disagreement is unjustifiable, that they're just TrollMods with a mental defect they're taking out on everyone else.
