License to own
So my neighbour from hell has two beagles. Two overfed, overweight, under stimulated, NEVER BEEN WALKED beagles. You already know the type of owners. Why they bought a working, hunting dog to trap in their little back yard in the middle of a suburb, I’ll never know. And they did it twice! And now it’s the neighbourhoods problem. Which leads me to my next thought, (not that it would change anything about the situation)
However, I wonder if it would be a good idea to make it so you have to have a license to purchase and own one of these working breeds? (Especially if you live within city limits) It would not only protect the neighbourhood from the noise, but also these specific breeds that have no business being couch potato pets. It’s criminal. The shape these dogs are in - their legs can barely support the weight of themselves.
Anyway, I’d love to hear any thoughts and opinion!
