Because, unfortanately anything on the planet can pop out a child. But they require pet owners to be responsible. There really should be breeding laws for humans. You should have to pass a test and have at least a certain IQ to have a child. Everyone else should have their tubes tied! Too many kids nowaday have no fathers, or no mothers. Or two mothers, or two fathers.

Very interesting analogy. However, I don't think we want the government deciding who can have a child. Think about the Nazi's and the Chinese communists in that context. As sad as it is that many 'incompetent' people have children, there may be a much greater threat to all of society if we allow politicians to intervene in the 'family process'.
Thanks for a great question!

Think about the purpose of a license--to track down a lost owner or verify the animal's vaccinations. People usually can be asked questions verbally and don't like to wear collars and tags--teenagers excepted.

I need to go buy a dog licence for my dog, but the thought of it ticks me off so much that I havent done it yet. Cat owners..no license...horse owners..no license.. why do dogs need penalized? My dog is not costing the public at large ANYTHING! I pay taxes on my car to keep the roads in good shape, I pay income tax to support social security and our government, I pay sales tax, land tax... why the hell do I have to pay for a license for my freaking pet??? (thanks for allowing me to vent..truly appreciate it)

It is strange in a way. We even have to pass tests to be licensed to operate a car, but no requirements for raising children.
Can you imagine?
"I flunked my parenting test 3 times, so I am being sterilized"
Sounds like a plot for a future society movie

Thats a great question. If people had to go through what I went through just to adopt my cat before they had a child the world may be a much better place.... :)

Because most people would be very uncomfortable with the idea of the government saying who is and isn't allowed to reproduce.

The government tries to smuggle bombs onto planes to see how good the security is (but they don't set them off). 40% of get through.
The government of the United States is awful.

Cause they have to be registered. just like kids have to have certificates to live here. Think about it, its like a birth certificate for dogs

well it's complicated--- dogs are more valuble then humans, there's less of them and they're harder to come by- with kids you just kinda knock a girl up and bam! there it is, crying in your arms-- it's a wonderful life!!!
