Not to change the subject, but I'm changing the subject...
A while back, ya'll were discussing freeze-branding horses as a method of preventing slaughter of stolen horses. Have any of ya'll ever had or known anybody who's had their horses microchipped and if so, is the slaughter industry required to scan for them prior to slaughter? I've thought of having mine done but didn't know if it'd do any good or not.

Hmmm... I don't know if they are required to scan for microchips.

I've looked around and I can't see any requirement to scan for microchips at slaughter.

I don't know anyone that has done it with horses... But I can't see why the same tech wouldn't be as good in horses as it is in dogs. Is it becoming more common?
