Dog licence

[Keithy]

The feeling is that it may be a good idea to introduce the old dog licence again (not a licence just for old dogs though!)

As this was 37p before it was discontinued, what level of 'indirect taxation' should we have on careful pooch owners?

As a long time dog owner, bring it back for £10.

I'd be in favour of licensing kids too, and putting a cap on how many you can have.

by coincidence i've just got a dog license this week (as still compulsory here) and it was free. Had to have his microchip certificate and a clean bill of health from a vet.

In contrast, i've just got off the phone to enquire about getting a fishing license for the Mrs.
She has to complete 20-30 hours supervised (by a licensed fishing club) fishing, then take a test. She'll then need to take the test certificate to the authorities to get her licence at a cost of 238euros plus 40 admin fee! Mental!

There are certainly a number of parents of children at my daughters school who need this...

Only with some sort of IQ test before your allowed to even apply for a Child License.

So the people who already do the right thing with their
dogs have to pay for a licence whilst the lawbreakers
and inconsiderates of this life carry on as they were.

Why on earth are we dreaming up more taxes for ourselves.
You may as well start a thread in the rant room now

The dog licence was scrapped for a good reason ... it didn't
work. Nothing has changed in the mean time to suggest
that it would work now other than gather income for HM
Treasury.

So that would be option 6 then Grumpo Gibbo?
