Ram, I am really not trying to be argumentative. :p But then what about the mad increase in illegal animal breeding? Anyone that breeds &/or sells animals would have to have a separate registration, and be able to prove that all the animals produced/sold went to people with licenses. Who its going to follow up on that? And then, if someone needs to rehome an animal, for whatever reason, do you just take their word that they checked to make sure that person has a license? Or would they have to take the animal to an already overfull underfunded shelter? And what about someone like Karen who works to rescue & adopt out animals? Is she going to have to track license #'s?
