| | | | I reckon thats excellent..should happen in all states |

| | | | If pet owners needed a $100 license to own any animal that was NOT desexed the whole problem would be gone in 5 years.
Still the under 16 idea is a step in the right direction. |

Yeah Good Point Greg!
I dont like that idea Michael, not every family would be able to afford a $100 licence. Owning any animal costs quite a bit in the long run, with vet bills, food etc... So I think only about 50/60% of people would be able to afford a $100 licence...and EVERYONE should have the oppurtunity to keep an animal. |

Why we do not ban all people to be born with out licence. Or better, let them to pay fee for it.
Looks like lately govermant or council do charge for nearly anything. They always hide behind reason of good intention. My son just had to pay for 2nd(green) P plate exams. Cost him another $35
and I am sure that this 35 bucks is main reason we have green p plates here in NSW. I just love this Bob Car goverment. He is saving lives by colecting money from young kids. |

not sure how well this will work, kids seem to be given everything by a lot of parents, who just give in to the pleas........should be harsher punsishments for adults doing the wrong thing.... |

That can be defended as protecting our ozon layer. Boy that would cost me.
But It will happen one day.  |

| | | | My point was that you wouldnt need a license to own a desexed animal, I know it wouldnt really work, nothing does.
The idea was to make it a more expensive choice to own a non desexed animal.
I agree everybody should be able to have a pet. Especially kids.
Especially farting kids like mine. |

| | | | Slateman would you make parents liable for their kids farts? |

If everyone deserved a pet and cared for them correctly there would be no strays on the street and the RSPCA would be empty.
Maybe a $100 fee for a licence is a good idea to stop people from neglecting pets? Could be tricky to inforce though ... |
