in the uk we dont need to have dog licences although i dont think its a
bad idea. by law all our grey hound racers are supposed to be tattooed
to stop the owners from dumping them when the carreers are over and the
moneys been made.
only now some of these greedy gits are cutting off the ears and turning
them loose. one such owner gave some guy in a pub £10 to do away with
a dog and get his ear off. the man took the dogs ear then left him to
bleed by the time the dog was found it was so badly injured the vet put
him down straight away.
