License to fish? License to… RIDE A BIKE? License to… HAVE A DOG/CAT? License to USE A RADIO? (I’m talking about GMRS, AFIAK emergency services do not use GMRS frequencies)

Why is everything a license?

What next? License to exist?

Someday they are gonna require a license to get your own water, or filter your own air (due to pollution).

    This funds public cleaning of dog poop and free dog poop bags.

    NYC technically requires a dog license, and I can guarantee you it provides neither of these things. The streets are absolutely covered in dog shit because of irresponsible dog owners. A lot of the city doesn’t have garbage cans either (especially in Queens), and the few that exist are never emptied.

      This person knows what’s up…

      I don’t hate the animal, just the dog owner. These people are inconsiderate parasites that need to be taxed into compliance.

      When did we as society decide that their right to own pets in dense urban setting permits them to spoil any patch of greenery and landscaping?!
