subject: On Dog Taxation [print this page] Imposing dog tax has been popular on the Internet recently. From hitting dogs several years ago to currently imposing dog tax, it seems that raising dogs is not as easy as one thinks. Although some related measures have been taken to take charge of dogs, managing dogs is as the same with managing people because they can not understand what they are told to do and what is forbidden. They bark at night and foul everywhere they want. However lots of people are fond of raising dogs, especially for old aged people and the singles. They treat dogs as their friends. This makes the management of dogs even harder. But is it workable to adopt dog taxation?
I do not expect that over seven out of ten netizens agree with imposing dog tax. If it is adopted, raising dogs virtually becomes a fashion of the rich. If this rule is implemented, this problem seems to be solved. But according to the journalist who has interviewed the director of Pet Department, it is unlikely to impose dog taxation. Raising pet is not in the range of imposing tax. Taxation is economic leverage, which can be imposed only through trade. Raising dogs is obviously not a way of trade and it won't be taxed accordingly. However, the trouble caused by dogs is in fact serious. It is expected that related departments should enhance their practice on dogs. It is recommended by expertise that dog owners should promote their sense of how to raise a dog instead of influencing other people's life as well as public security and sanity.
In our country, rules of raising dogs are to be improved. We can adopt other countries' experience and learn their successful one. In this way, this problem may be settled down eventually.
