😡 ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL 😡
Today at Mitchelstown Market, dogs were reportedly being offered for sale for €200 each while sitting in a crate for hours, with concerns raised that they had no access to water. Witnesses say the matter was reported to the Gardaí.
So cruel and horrible 😡😡. Animals are living, feeling beings, not products to be left suffering in cages while people walk past.
We need answers. What happened to these dogs? Were they checked on? Were any animal welfare authorities contacted?
If anyone has reliable information or an update on the welfare of these dogs, please pm us. These poor dogs deserve protection.
Enough is enough. Animal welfare must be taken seriously.

Some unbelievably amazing news earlier today!!!
After two months shy of 10 years missing- PIPER HAS BEEN FOUND!!!!
That's all three cats home now!! #REUNITED
Get those chips scanned- after a decade a vet scanned Piper on a visit and she is home!!!!!!!!! #crying
Unconditional love - that’s what this picture is about ❤️ I hope you never go through the experience of having a lost dog or cat, I have and that’s why I know we have a serious problem, which can be solved! I wouldn’t ask you unless I was really worried about the state of play with the current microchip database situation. Two important things for you to do now to protect your dog or cat.
Firstly, please sign this petition to save our pet’s Central Microchip Portal, to see any lost pets get home the fastest way possible, making ID search quick and secure, 24/7, preventing long kennel stays and rising costs:
SIGN ON THIS LINK: https://t.co/vuTl8q5R6V
The second is PLEASE double check your pet’s microchip registration is correct and holding your current contact information, without a home number, no one can call you. Registering your microchip with your vet is not the same as registering on a microchip database! You must see how many lost dogs are picked up while scrolling through Facebook, with comments saying ‘unregistered microchip’ or ‘out of date contact information’. Please check
This post shows you all the 25 databases, with costs and contact links and how to check your own pet’s registration: https://t.co/5Ii2HhhgDw

This is the Government’s press release about the promised Central Microchip Portal in March 2024 :- https://t.co/ea7qKDT4Vi
Our petition, asking where has the Central Portal gone? https://t.co/vuTl8q6oWt
Supported by @RSPCA_official@The_Blue_Cross , @Battersea_ and @DogsTrust
FYI:
THE PROMISE:
In March 2024, @DefraGovUK announced the Central Microchip Portal. For those of us who have followed the failures of the UK’s pet microchipping system for years, this felt like a genuine breakthrough. A single, publicly accountable portal. One login for vets, wardens and police. Instant, 24/7 access to all microchip records across every approved database. A lost pet, a microchip scan and registration check, a phone call a reunion within the hour.
The current system has 25 separate commercial databases with incompatible logins and no joined-up access. Authorised users searching for a chip match, find the database and then the problems begin with most databases working 9-5 Monday to Friday, some databases have call centres who take messages, some databases still relying on phone messaging or emails, the person with your lost dog or cat can wait days or even a week for a response from them. Animals go unidentified. Owners go without answers. The Central Portal was going to fix that.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED:
A new government came in during July 2024. The Central Microchip Portal was quietly dropped. No full explanation. No debate. No alternative announced at the time.
Now we are being told that the Association of Microchip Database Operators — known as AMDO — will lead the development of a replacement. AMDO represents just 10 of the 25 self-regulated databases. Their proposed solution is described by Defra as industry-led and commercially driven.
Why this alarms me and many other pet owners:
The organisations that have profited from the fragmented system are now being handed control of designing the unified one. That is not reform. That is the industry writing its own rules.
A “commercially driven” solution means that access to microchip data — data that exists because the law requires our pets to be chipped — could be restricted behind paywalls or subscription models. Vets, wardens and police may have to pay for access they were promised for free. Pet owners may eventually pay simply to have their own animal’s data found. And AMDO represents fewer than half the databases. What happens to the animals registered on the other 15?
— What legal authority does AMDO have to design and operate what is effectively a public safety infrastructure?
— Can the government guarantee that no pet owner, vet, warden or police officer will be charged for accessing microchip data through any new system?
— Will all 25 databases be required to participate on equal terms?
— Is Defra satisfied that an industry body with commercial interests is an appropriate lead for a system underpinned by animal welfare legislation?
Microchipping is the law. The reunification system that makes it meaningful should be a public service — not a commercial product. We were promised that. We deserve that.
It’s a big ask but we need to find, before 5th June, just over 80,000 more signatures for the petition to save the promised Central Microchip Portal which was virtually ready to be produced, please sign and repost, we desperately need your help: https://t.co/vuTl8q6oWt
