License Fees for Dogs
- Share via
* Scott Harris’ column regarding the proposed $500 license fee for dogs misses the mark (“Putting Teeth Into L.A.’s Dog License Laws,” Oct. 16). Dog owners whose pets run loose will:
* Never license their dogs.
* Never get caught. (Why haven’t they been cited under current laws?)
* Never neuter.
The time, rhetoric and money expended on the B.S. would be better used citing and fining people whose dogs are allowed, even encouraged, to run loose. By the way, I belong to dog obedience and breed clubs and show my dogs, so I would be exempt as the bill is presented now. But believe me, they will come after law-abiding pet owners first. We “finger” ourselves by licensing our dogs.
