Having just read about TS's shocking experience with her dog, isn't it about time some kind of licensing was brought back for dog owners? It might help to prevent irresponsible people from keeping dogs.

If dog licenses were a realistic price, with discounts for the elderly (and perhaps low income generally), and extra charge (not subject to discount) for entire bitches, it could be made self-financing, and might drastically reduce the number of unwanted puppies born. Since they are talking about compulsory microchipping, it is doable, but somehow I don't see it happening!Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment

The TV Licence system operates by assuming that everyone watches TV and that every home should be licensed.Originally posted by Florence Fennel View Post
I have one house with a TV and a licence, the other house no TV, no licence. Every couple of weeks another letter arrives threatening me with court action because I do not have a Licence.
I told them 5 years ago there was no TV here and I see no need to keep protesting my innocence.
I wish they would send one of their "Enforcement" officers around to inspect the house - just so that I could tell them where to go!

No not really Flo,the TV licence system is actually comparatively simple to operate,these days there is a record of every property in the country to have held a licence & its current state of elapse.
So consequently TV detector vans only need watch a very minimal number to catch wrong doers.He who smiles in the face of adversity,has already decided who to blame

So microchip every dog, bitch and puppy and record a licence to the chip and then detect chips without a licence. Simples. I know, I've got my coat on already. I think I'm missing something today, or I've got a bit extra. Whatever it is, it's mad.Granny on the Game in SheffieldComment

Thing is, with compulsory microchipping and registration, any dog found without a chip (or with a chip but not registered properly) gets confiscated and put up for rescue. Registration to include a licence fee (to pay for managing the whole thing) with the option of applying for assitance in paying.
Nothing is foolproof (fools are too ingenious) but it would probably solve 99% of the problems with dogs, AND make it possible to enforce the bans on keeping dogs which courts can impose, but at present they are meaningless.
Meanwhile repeal the BSL part of DDA and use the enforceable ban on dog owning to punish people who turmn their dogs into weapons (there is no such thing as a universally dangerous breed, just breeds commonly kept by dangerous morons!)Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.Comment

yes, and they never ever believe that you don't actually have a television, and tell you they will come round and check anyway, just in case you're not telling the truth. They also have a deal with the electrical shops and supermarkets to check anyone who has bought a tv in case they avent got a licence too. They wil also try and scare the cr@p out of you by pretending they are sending letters from a court. They will also threaten you with search warrants even though they aren't supposed, lie and tell you they are someone else, and do everything possible to scare/threaten you into buying a licence you don't need.Originally posted by bearded bloke View Post

I have a sheaf of those letters - about 5 years worth! Each month another letter and there are 4 types.
1. Opened an investigation - Enforcement Officers will visit you
2. Official warning - Enf Officer visit is scheduled
3.Letter about Enforcement Procedure - can apply for a search warrant
4. The information you need before a hearing is set at your local court, You can appoint a lawyer.
Then they start the letter cycle all over again. How dare they assume I cannot live without TV and therefore accuse me of theft. Whatever happened to being innocent until proven guilty.
Bring on the Enforcement Officer, if you dare, you stupid idiots.
I'm going to throw these letters on the fire now and I don't care!!Comment
