There are no plans yet to make micro-chipping on the Island compulsory - despite the rest of the British Isles making the change.

This week the UK made it an offence if a dog isn't micro-chipped with owners facing a fine of up to £400.
The procedure means the owners of an animal can be found more easily if they stray.
South Douglas MHK Kate Beecroft has been chairing a Tynwald committee on animal welfare which is supportive of the issue.
However she says we need a better dog warden system in place first to make it work:
MEDS phone line to be down temporarily
Committee to examine link between poverty and poor academic performance
Police advice for trick-or-treaters to stay safe
How will Manx Care reduce the number of negligence claims?
Manx Language Festival to be held next week
Manxman sailings in doubt from tomorrow
Car falls down steep bank on Mountain Road
Panic over - Mcdonald's reopens at 11am tomorrow
