Swiss village: pay your dog tax or fido gets it!

GENEVA — A Swiss village has found a drastic way to compel dog holders to pay their pet's annual tax: cough up, or the dog gets it.

Reconvilier — population 2,245 humans, 280 dogs — plans to put fido on notice if its owner doesn't pay the annual $50 tax.

Local official Pierre-Alain Nemitz says the move is part of an effort to reclaim hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes.

He says a law from 1904 allows the village to kill dogs if its owner does not pay the canine charge.

Nemitz told the AP on Monday that authorities have received death threats since news of the plan got out.

"This isn't about a mass execution of dogs," Nemitz said. "It's meant to put pressure on people who don't cooperate."

"... their pet's annual tax:"

Now that they have brainwashed nearly everyone to say "my" taxes, they might as well start conditioning people to think that their dogs have taxes to.

They are not "my" taxes and they are not "my dog's" taxes: they are the government's taxes.

I'm always rag'in on my cats about their 'fair share'.

I don't think I have too many taxes, but my dog does.
