It's not just the people who release their animals into the wild. The animal escapes and resulting injuries have a lot to do with it - if you're going to keep a large animal (no matter what it is), you should have the appropriate enclosure.

Fair point. With no fingers, they're terrible at picking locks.

I think the microchipping is a great idea. Of course, if it gets to the point that the animal needs to be scanned so someone can be held accountable, there's a good chance the damage has already been done.
I don't like bans on specific animals, but I do think regulations are necessary. I'd be really upset if my neighbor got a chimp after reading a caresheet and then it ripped my face off.
Now that I think about it, I'm not sure I'd feel super vindicated by being assured that they could track it to the owner and he's gonna be in big trouble :)
