When I saw the title of the thread I thought it was about microchipping guinea pigs. Doh!

Wow. I have been doing a lot of googling (as my boss can't find the info he was sent) but good ol' wiki had this on verichip

Possible future applications

Theoretically, a GPS-enabled chip could one day make it possible for individuals to be physically located by latitude, longitude, altitude, speed, and direction of movement. Such implantable GPS devices are not technically feasible at this time. However, if widely deployed at some future point, implantable GPS devices could conceivably allow authorities to locate missing persons and/orfugitives and those who fled from a crime scene. Critics contend, however, that the technology could lead to political repression as governments could use implants to track and persecute human rights activists, labor activists, civil dissidents, and political opponents; criminals and domestic abusers could use them to stalk and harass their victims; slaveholders could use them to prevent captives from escaping; and child abusers could use them to locate and abduct children.[citation needed]

strangely enough I was reading about these the other night - but not for animals, a company in the states is seeking licence for these to be used in humans for various reasons. Verichip Florida have already been granted a licence a couple of years ago
