Just another tax. How many thousands of years ago was the dog domesticated? werent no governments back then. I propose the people bring in a competence test for the governments!

Cajunrules 8 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Its an awful idea, completely. Its obvious what is going to pass as "competance" its going to be things like "can you put your dogs coat on him properly?", and "can you make your dog a comfy spot at the bottom of your bed?". It will be a test for competance of lap-dog ownership, nothing more. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stabba 10,745 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Personally i think they should make people take a competency test on child rearing.. rather than picking on the dog owners atb stabba 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
