CFIA to ramp up fines

No you would say. (and did)

But GF, what is the point of complaining to management or staff at the retail supplier? I guess a person could complain about the selection of tags they are carrying, or go to another store to find what they are looking for. What does a retailer care or know about retention?
What I do know is that plastic degrades over time, and sunlight and cold temperatures are major contributors to this. Perhaps black plastic would have a longer life. We have all electric fence and find that there are different grades of plastic, some of which have a very short lifespan.

Little Doggie, the basis of SADIES campaign is that the tags don't work, they fall out and fall to pieces and they bring huge levels of complaint to the retailers.
From his post above:
"The worst thing we wanted when a product was sold through our practice is "COMPLAINTS ABOUT THAT PRODUCT"---we are the first line of complaint."
"Other than GF and a few others (who have had great success) the real complaints of RFID eartag retention in the adult cows and bulls was and still is being presented to the veterinary clinics and outlets that are selling these RFID eartags."

I was just pointing out that that is not the case in my area - it strengthens my belief that this whole campaign is BS.
