Licensing of dog ownership - Lets start at £500 per year

[SirGalahad]

I think it's about time dog ownership was licensed as it seems having a dog these days is a license to s hit anywhere, sick and tired of having to go on walks with kids and dodge the dog turds.

Start off at £500 - will be a nice income earner for the Government. What's not to like?

It could fund poo patrols

So pay £500, and you can let your dog **** anywhere? Is that the plan?

No, fining the perpetrators

I knew you were soft in the head but £500? Where are going to train the dog wardens and who`s paying for them all.

You pay for car road tax does that allow you to break the speed limit.

You have some tortured logic.

They would raise more money by a sensible charge such as £20 a year. Set it at £500, even as a one-off fee for the life of the dog, and many people will simply dump their dog in another town to prevent it coming back home. You then have the problem of roaming strays everywhere which would need rounding up, impounding and probably being euthanised.

I think they scrapped dog licences a few decades ago. We always had black and white dogs as the licences for those were cheaper.

I ALWAYS bag and bin my dog's turds. It annoys me when others bag but don’t bin their dogs turds and chose to leave them on the path or hang it on a tree.

Well you are one of the good guys, unfortunately too many people are not good dog owners. Dogs need care.

Not my dream , just replying to a post

It will never happen.

SHould those that pay for their cars also pay the fines of those that break the speed limit even when they did not?
Same applies to dog owners, those that get caught leaving dog poop on the highway can get fined.
Those that pick it up do not.

How about you campaign in your local area for hidden cameras to catch those bad owners. a bit like the cameras that catch those speeding or going through red lights.
