"The transponders were the cause of the tumors," says Keith Johnson, who ran one of the studies for Dow Chemical in 1996.
Canada.com's Bert Hill notes that VeriChip stock plunged 14 percent yesterday as a result of the news.
According to Wired's Kim Zetter, the catalyst for the AP story was an investigation into the death of a bulldog named Leon from a tumor attached to an ID chip in his neck. Researchers looking into Leon's tumor determined that other studies in the past had found tumors occurring in cats that had been microchipped. "The tumors formed between 1 month and 3 years after the chips were implanted and seemed to spring up around areas of inflammation created by the microchip," Zetter writes.
Lewan raises troubling questions about why these studies were ignored when the FDA approved the VeriChip, and to what degree Tommy Thompson, who as a board member was the happy recipient of a gift of hundreds of thousands of shares of VeriChip stock, may have been involved...

While, I am not one to go along with the religous aspects that some claim to believe regarding chip implantation, I do believe the scientific aspects mentioned below from the link listed at the end.
Satellite Surveillance We now have the ability to look at underground faults and to spy upon the movement of worms under your lawn. With the use of cellular towers and the satellite system, any pet embedded with the now readily available micro-chip implant can be triangulated to within 10 ft. of where it is located. The statement is that they can keep track of 1 billion pets. The question is, "who's next?" We had 35 of these satellites and in 1993 we added 24 Navstar satellites that are accurate in tracking anywhere on the face of the earth.
Laser Listening Devices Well proven laser listening devices are checked out like a special tool by our surveillance minded departments: CIA, FBI and even the IRS. These units by using a window as a diaphragm can listen to every conversation as much as 20 miles away.
A Destron/IDI specification sheet on its Injectable transponder TX1400L, describes the implantable chip this way: "The Injectable Transponder is a passive radio-frequency identification tag, designed to work in conjunction with a compatible radio frequency ID reading system. The transponder consists of an electromagnetic coil, tuning capacitor, and microchip sealed in a cylindrical glass enclosure. The chip is preprogrammed with a unique ID code that cannot be altered; over 34 billion individual code numbers are available. When the transponder is activated by a low frequency radio signal, it transmits the ID code to the reading system. Although specifically designed for injecting in animals, this transponder can be used for other applications requiring a micro-sized identification tag. The Implantable Bio-chip could contain your Social Security number and all your health records, financial records, police record, and your religion... everything about you! The Implantable Bio-chip is a radio transponder (which never needs batteries or replacement), a person may be tracked when this system is integrated with the network of twelve communications satellites that now orbit the earth. This link-up could provide virtually instantaneous worldwide computer reception of microchip transponder signals from anywhere on the planet. There is a locator program now operating in the satellite network. It incorporates an expensive transponder that can be carried by back country skiers, hikers, and others who venture into remote
