I am calling about the new law that went into affect about registering your dogs, cats and ferrets. I can understand cats and ferrets, but dogs? I just spent 200 and some odd dollars getting them their rabies shots and their rabies tag, which has a number and the name of the vet. Now I am told you have to register your animal and pay $10 more dollars. I would like to know where my $20 is going for my two dogs. I want to know what we are supporting in Bartlesville with these funds.
Jennifer's Comment:
This is disturbing not because the caller is disagreeing with the additional licensing but because the caller thinks that it IS appropriate to license ferrets. First, how many ferrets have you ever seen running loose in Bartlesville (or anywhere else for that matter) that will need a collar and tag to return them home? Second, how many ferret attacks are there each year in the US? Bonus points if you can find me a statistic for my second question.
Alan's Comment:
I like bonus points...
Worst case statistics show approximately 12 ferret attacks ever recorded in the US.
