Dog Licensing - What They Say, And Then The Real Reason

" Rep. Seth Cohn, a Canterbury Republican, wanted to repeal the dog license law because some communities were spending more to license dogs than they were taking in with license fees. A House committee favored keeping the law, saying requiring licenses was the best way the state could ensure dogs had gotten rabies shots. Cohn's bill would have cut revenue to the state's cities and towns by nearly $725,000, the committee found."

Dog licensing is a joke. It does nothing to promote human or animal welfare or safety. It is about raising tax dollars, funding things that the government shouldn't be doing in the first place. Note that the cost of the licensing was costing more than the revenues being taken in!!! It's all to fund bureaucracies, and no politician likes losing revenue, even if the cost of getting it makes no sense.

They should have repealed the licensing. It does nothing to reduce rabies... in fact where is there a rabies problem? Only in third world countries where dogs are roaming in packs with no owners. Not in developed countries.
