importance of verification

Already for 2 years horses are microchipped in Belgium. And although a verification is done at arrival at the slaughterhouse, a lot of horses are stolen. Horses with medical treatment or with more than one microchip will be refused in the slaughterhouses in Belgium. It seems that no verification is done on microchips at the slaughterhouses in Germany and France and Belgian horse thiefs and horse dealers bring their horses to those countries. So it is possible that medicin and microchip end up for human consumption. Therefor it is very important that the international databank can function as soon as possible so that information can be exchanged and that horses from countries already using the microchip should be verified at arrival in the slaughterhouse. In the UK horses are not slaughtered for human consumption and this could also be a solution for the other European countries.
