littlefish 602 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Now, if a lot of folks would not pay £5, what is the chance of them paying £50? It will be like the TV license in certain areas........... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ferreterni 29 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 was on the bbc1 news last night, I just caught the headlines. don't think it'll make much difference. Could understand in a town but in the country i've never seen anyone coming round to check for licenses. The mirochipping wouldn't be a bad idea too, but I think if they wanted it compulsory it should be lowered inprice, or even included in the license fee. People who don't pay the £5 aren't going to pay £50, and wouldn't stop breeders as they just won't register anything anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 It wouldn't supprise me if Mr Pottfill is behind this to punish the hunting man who has many dogs. Is it true ? A price hike like that seems a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ferreterni 29 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I only caught the headlines as it was bedtime for my wee girl, but that's what was said, wife heard it too but she was in kitchen so paying no attention either. It's ridiculous to have anything increase in one go like that, Just think your 4 dog pack at £20 a year will be £200. Where else would inflation run at that rate. Also on the headlines was a load of email address had been posted on the net, gmail, hotmail yahoo etc so change all your passwords. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ferreterni 29 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 That makes sense. Only thing is it will only affect law abiding dog owners, same as gun laws only affect legal gun owners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
