Charge breeders for shelter
Every day in newspapers there are ads to sell adorable animals, cats, dogs etc. Who among us doesn’t love the puppies, kittens that are for sale?
These breeders are in business to make money. They are, for the most part, responsible business owners.
Our cities and counties, when faced with problems concerning animals, have had to provide for a means to protect both the animal and the citizen. These costs are passed along to the taxpayers in order to provide shelters. Most of the taxpaying citizens do not make money from the sale of these animals.
Shouldn’t these breeders be the ones to contribute to the costs of the animal shelters? After all, they are the ones producing these animals, and they do this to make money.
As a taxpayer faced with continual out-of-control taxation, I believe this practice of government providing facilities for a problem that is a result of the people in the breeding business has to stop.
They (the breeders) need to pay, not the taxpayer!
How can this be accomplished?
