    Man, I have to wonder, what are your thoughts on gun control? I mean the yearly dog inspector is great but like, what about social services? You think there is room in the budget to provide care for the less fortunate?

      Social services don't pay for your dog's vet. Why should it pay for other dog expenses?

      Regarding gun control, I luckily live in a country with decent gun control laws. So our death rate due to gun violence in peace time doesn't resemble the civilian casulty rate in some war zones.

        So how will you actually regulate it without a department of dog liscencing?

        Let me add, we are talking about millions of dogs.

          You can have a department for something like that. But it doesn't have to be funded by the tax payer. That's what license fees are there for. Works great for cars already (at least where I am from).

          But seriosly, "but regulation costs money" is a pretty weak argument, because everything costs money.
