  • That’s a little high tech for governments in most areas of the USA. We pay the tax and get a stamped piece of metal (a literal dog-tag).

    You can get your pet chipped here in the USA too, for a small fee, but that’s just to help you get them back if they get lost. In some regions it’s not worth it for that though. We used to live in Illinois and many pets were chipped in that area (outside of Chicago). All the vets and animal controls there had scanners and would check when an unidentified pet came in. We’ve since moved down south. Nobody has scanners here and many people have never even heard of them.












  • Smirnov’s smattering of international affiliations makes the convicted felon a significant flight risk—but another possibility of freedom may await the foreign asset. Earlier this year, the DOJ filed a joint motion alongside Smirnov’s attorneys to release him pending appeal. U.S. District Judge Otis Wright tossed that effort in April, but legal experts stress that the effort could be an early sign that the Trump administration is considering pardoning Smirnov, as “it is almost unheard of for the DOJ to argue for someone’s release pending appeal.”

    The DoJ was asking that he be released pending appeal? After confessing to being a Russian operative working against the interests of the USA? The whole DoJ is now working for Russia. This guy is already back in Moscow.
