although a voluntary, employment related scenario -- I don't see anything really wrong with that.

See, that's how they get you. "Bit unhappy" over chipping animals, but totally thrilled when it's "for the children."
In most cases, the pet-based uses are pushing you over the edge of the slippery slope that will end up in mandatory human use. There will be some side-trips to chipping criminals, probably, maybe even including seeing to it that they are all entered in a DNA database ...
It's not paranoia when it's real, people.
