Digital Angel Tracks Dogs with RFID in Portugal
Portugal has begun to track dogs with RFID chips.
According to ZDNet UK:
On Friday, Digital Angel, which sells RFID scanning and communications tools for tracking everything from airplanes to farm animals, announced that it had won a $600,000 (£326,396) deal to start affixing radio tags to dogs in Portugal.
The deal was granted under a government initiative to control rabies in the country. Portuguese legislators have mandated that the estimated two million canines in the nation must be implanted with radio tags and registered in a national database by 2007.
