How to put the Humane society out of buisness

[INMIline]

I have an idea. If all pet owners were required to pay a $100 a year tax to keep a unfixed pet. Then they would be more open to fixing their pet.
Any good breeder would be willing to pay the tax in order to keep breeding.

I know their will be arguments about paying a tax, but it would help with back yard breeding, strays, and we'd see more quality bred pets.

I have to disagree with you...

We don't need more laws!!!!!!!
We sure as hell don't need more taxes!!!!!
You may say well it doesn't effect me, but it will, just like the new cig tax once we all quit smoking where will those tax dollars come from? Yep you guessed it they will find somewhere else to get it. Maybe a fat tax, or a tax on sugar.

We need people to take responsibility.

New taxes and laws are not a good way of doing things. How about a kid tax maybe that will stop the millions on welfare from breeding and getting more of my taxes.

Great lets tax things we are against just like the government. Your no better than they are to even post such a thing.

But think of the JOBS! How many people could get paid to run around, checking to see if animals are neutered or not!!

Honestly, though, while taxing people for their pets is a thought, it wouldn't work out. When the taxman comes, people would just dump the animals, creating even more heartbreak.. I <3 my animals, and every one I've ever had has been spayed or neutered..

I have a dog that came from a stray doing the deed with a full breed Lab, the people just wanted to get rid of the puppies so I got him for free. He is the best puppy ever. Although I think something like that might work, it would cost way too much money. No Thanks.

-1 to that idea. sry

Let's just propose a bill which, when enacted, will levy a $100 tax on each person proposing a new tax.

How to put the Humane society out of buisness

How about everyone marches down to the Humane society, adopts a dog or cat, takes it home, loves it, feeds it, cares for it, and gives it companionship.

Stop buying from breeders unless you plan to breed yourself. (Wait, did that come out right?)

I was thinking I may breed one day does that mean I can't adopt a pet??

I am confused by your statement.

Is this another Polishing the monkey thing??

 

[savageayape]

I would love to adopt a dog or cat, but I can't keep one at my store and if I kept one at my property in Spencer, I'm sure the coyotes would eat them.

I always thought I would "breed" myself, but I can't find a conservative woman willing to have me.

NO ADDITIONAL TAXES

I FOR ONE AM SICK OF TAXES

WE ARE BEING TAXED TO DEATH

MY CHILDREN ARE BEING TAXED AND THEY ARE STILL IN MIDDLE SCHOOL

"THEIR" KIDS WILL BEAR THE BURDEN OF OUR GOVERNMENTS OUT OF CONTROL SPENDING.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

IT HAS TO STOP

I stand corrected. More taxes is a bad idea. I just left the humane society in Elkhart, looking for a small dog for my nephew. It is just so over crowded right now. But I called back about one we found and asked why so many. She said because of the economy people are bringing in their pets because they can't afford them. Sad times.

Your idea is better than mine.

Good idea, bad application. Instead of messing with the pets, I prefer to euthanize bad pet owners. I know, not practical, and not very Christian or forgiving. Hey, it's my head and I live there....

Now this is a law I could go for!!!

 

[Dr Falken]

Just to clarify, there are a couple types of Humane Societies, and I for one support (in general) the work of our Monroe County Humane Society. On the other hand, I do not feel kindly to the organization known as The Humane Society Of The United States. They are on the order of PETA in my mind. I like animals and feel that they should be well treated, but I think that this group goes overboard. I believe them to be anti-hunting as well. So, which Humane Society is being talked about?

 

[redneckmedic]

I wonder if the "First Dog" has been fixed? That actually might turn into a polital Night Mare!!! BoB Barker VS. PETA!!!

 

[SavageEagle]

I say we make everyone pay a tax on the air they breath and for evey mile they drive. How about every step they take.

You trying to stir a pot or what?

I'm not sure about taxes, but if you keep talking like that, you'll owe the Beatles some royalties
