Default Did I read that correctly?

A crawl at the bottom of the screen on CNN this morning says North Carolina
is considering raising taxes on pet food as a means of reducing pet
overpopulation. My first reaction would be that it's about as misguided as
raising gas taxes to discourage consumption...

Anybody here got more background on this?

It's true. They plan to tax pet food to raise money for spay/neuter.

You have to wonder what they are thinking. The one that would make sense
would be creating a law that requires those taking in animals must have them
spayed or neutered.

Greetings...

They already have a "registration fee" that is significantly higher if your
dog/cat is not neutered. Of course, irresponsible owners don't register or
get annual shots. Therefore, they don't pay the fee.

little critters.
