    Are terriers not considered dogs?


    If you tickle them, do they not laugh?

    Its funny.
    Poll is closely matched between people who pay the license and people who do not.


    Its funny tho :)
    Anytime there is a thread about doing a nixer on boards you get peoples blood boiling... "those bastards not paying tax report them! :mad:" ... but yet? same person having a dog and not paying a license?


    God I hate humanity more day by day :)

    People generally see a rationale behind income taxes and social contribution taxes, though.

    Not so much an arbitrary tax on one kind of animal, for an amount which is not really sufficient to discourage overbreeding, and seems to serve very questionable purpose. The figures here are relatively tiny as well. I don't think anybody would seriously be too bothered about a once off €20 nixer.

    Shower them with teddy bears and smother them with kisses to make them feel loved?

    Define 'people's rationale'
    Sure look at the poll results. People having no issue with paying it and people having an issue and not paying it. There in black and white.

    Dog license is a social contribution tax too. You pay. It goes to the government. Can then be used to pay a fireman, a policeman, a nurse etc etc etc etc.

    Yes, hunts are required to have a license, but not for individual dogs.

    The committee are given one pack license for the entire kennel, regardless of how many hounds they keep in the pack.

    I was afraid someone would suggest that.

    I didn't post it in animals and pet issues because the poll might get slighly distorted in respect of the fact that arguably the most committed pet owners (the types who dress their dogs in dog clothes and Newbridge collars, and worry about dog licenses) may be more highly represented than the garden variety dog owner in that forum.

    By the way,interesting fact. Other seemingly random licenses required by the state (well, Revenue actually) are "Railway car licenses", "Railway refreshment room licenses" and "Military canteen licenses":confused:

    What do you think of the garden variety responses so far? By the way not really interesting fact.

    Never got one for our jack russell who we had for 16 years but she was a house dog, where as I got one for the labrador we have now as he is a bit harder to hide.

    He is only 1 year old so i got one last year and they have sent me out a reminder to pay for it. Kinda raging I started paying it in the first place.

    Hide a dog so you would not pay 28eu per year...

    One of my dogs got licensed but she ate the licence, along with some other quite important documents, fortunately I caught her just in time as she was beginning to chow down on my passport.
    I always wondered if she is still licensed even though the licence wasn't in a very presentable state the last time I saw it, as it had morphed into something more worthy to be thrown at, rather than presented to, an official looking for it.

    ... and what does it do?

    I believe one of it's purposes is to assign responsibility for the dog.

    If it attacks someone, shits in a public pool or steals a car the name on the license will end up in court.

    I have two dogs , a terrier who has the dog equivalent of schizophrenia ..various personalities from cute cuddly little dog to raving maniac dog .

    My second dog is a stuffed dog I bought a few years ago in a junk shop,he's the one I have the licence for ..and I'm waiting for the day a dog warden calls to my house, psycho dog regularly pisses on him too.
