When I worked for Gary Michelson he told me he wanted to run his non-profit like a business to make money. He wanted the non-profit to pay for itself and then some. He specifically stated that he wanted to obtain then sell the microchipped pet owners data. He has just "sold" Michelson Found Animals registry to pethealth a for profit financial insurance business. The registry and Pethealth just released this news.
"Pethealth To Acquire Microchip Registry Operations of the Michelson Found Animals Foundation
Transaction marks fifteen years of industry transformation and enables Michelson Found
Animals Foundation to focus on new initiatives to serve pets and pet parents
Pethealth to continue offering free registry services for existing
Found Animals Registry® pet parents
LOS ANGELES and OAKVILLE, Ontario – July 21st, 2021 – Michelson Found Animals Foundation
(“Michelson Found Animals”), a Los Angeles-based animal welfare organization, today
announced that it has reached a definitive agreement with Pethealth Inc. (“Pethealth”), a
leading provider of pet insurance, lost pet recovery and shelter management software in the
United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, for the acquisition of its microchip registry
operations."
Gary Michelson told me he gave away the chips to the city and county animal shelters so he could get the data on the pet owners. He even told me he wanted to get ahold of all data on all pet owners in the city and county via his relationship with those government entities. The purpose of the data was to sell it to pet food, pet product companies for money. Does that sound like philanthropy? No. That doesn't even correspond with the nonprofit's mission statement to help animals. This just helps big business sell product to pet owners.
The registry actually had a bad track record among rescuers and the public alike. You can see the many complaints online. That of course doesn't matter to Pethealth because they just want the data to sell pet health insurance for profit.
