Why license? To help pay for the services that users cause and cost. Dogs are not different. Someone has to pay - it is fair that those of use that use the service pay for it. Those that are at higher risk for use of the service should have to pay more. He knew he owed the fees and chose to ignore it. He thought he wouldn't get caught. It has nothing to do with the right to own - it has to do with being responsible for ownership. We all know we have to license our our cars and get fines if we don’t. Why license?

So does that mean I have to notify the AC here in NYC when I move to another state or risk having the same thing happen?! Do you have to *officially* cancel a dog license?! Doesn't everyone just let them expire and then license in their new place? Obviously I haven't moved for a long time! lol!~ So would i Donna!

"People don’t realize this but your vet is required to turn over information about the owner and the dog when they vaccinate for rabies now. It is entered into a huge big brother database that exists to collect these taxes and report to insurance companies that want to cancel you for having a dog." I think more people realize this than you are giving credit. Dog lincenses and Rabies requirements have been around forever and they go hand in hand. And if folks don't know about data bases, wow! They don't get the renewal notices by chance ;) What I found surprising was them accessing his bank account! I didn't realize anyone but the government could do that. that is one sweet doggie face.

This has changed with the influence of the animal rights movement that opposes owning pets. It has become an attempt to discourage pet ownership by imposing an unfair tax on pet owners.

The long range plan is to discourage dog ownership by making it so expensive and difficult that people give up their dogs or do not replace them when they die off.
