A hoax that has found a huge resounding board in a popular TV drama on a national television channel, <em>A step from the sky<\/em>, on air in prime time. In the first episode of the first season), the protagonist, the commander of the Forest Service Pietro, says he wanted to insert a microchip under the skin of a wolf (the actor animal is actually Usha, a female Czechoslovakian wolfdog) in order to follow its movements in real time. In reality, it doesn\u2019t work like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To give an example that we all know: the <strong>microchip for dogs<\/strong>, required by law in several countries, only can be read by a receiver on a distance of a few centimetres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The microchip is approximately 11-14 mm long and 2-2.2 mm wide and is implanted under the skin of the animal with a syringe at shoulder blades. It contains a unique identification code and no without feed. To read the code, the veterinarian passes a special reader at the shoulder blades of the dog.While you are looking for your lost dog the microchip is no help, you will need a GPS tracker equipped with a high quality GSM module, GPS antenna and battery. A <strong>much bulkier and heavier device than a microchip<\/strong>: it would be completely unthinkable to include all these components in a dog microchip, which is normally the size of a grain of rice!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4541,"template":"","class_list":["post-4546","fake_news","type-fake_news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lifewolfalps.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fake_news\/4546","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lifewolfalps.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/fake_news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lifewolfalps.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/fake_news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lifewolfalps.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4541"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lifewolfalps.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
