Happy-fun-law island Singapore may begin implanting microchips in cats and dogs in an effort to curb the nation’s growing pet abandonment statistics, which one government minister pegs at around 19,000 animals a year.

No word yet on whether or not abandoning a dog because he chews gum or spits on the subway would be considered “reasonable cause.”
