Genuinely how would it be enforced though?
I 100% like the idea of it, and think there are certain things you should have to do eg classes, health checks, have a register so dogs could be complained about etc. I just think there's zero way of doing it so it reaches owners that aren't already doing those thing
The uk stopped dog licencing because they couldn't enforce it And the compliance was terrible
Microchipping has been law for a decade and only something like 10% of strays are chipped properly. Most responsible people's dogs are, but they aren't the dogs that tend to stray.
Equally docking and cropping is illegal. You can physically see dogs with those attributes and still nothing is done
Something like cars works because you have to use them on public roads and you can read plates at a distance so check thousands a day. There's no way of doing that for dogs. Every single check would be manual and easy to avoid
Car insurance is a great example. People insure their car because of anpr, and you need to have the car physically visible at some point. What is astronomical is the number of uninsured driver's that are driving an insured car in someone else's name.
How much police resource would be dedicated to stopping owners and checking paperwork? Where would you do it? Like tv licencing where everyone is assumed to have a dog?
Even if say there were microchip readers on everysingle lampost (that can register the absence of something being the hardest thing!) , people with unlicensed dogs would just go else where to fields etc
Situations where people avoid the vets with dogs, avoid socialising dogs, exercising them well, and avoid training is an absolute mix for an explosion of dog bites.
Its why in my health care job, we don't check people's immigration status at A+E
