Reconvilier, Switzerland Threatens To Kill Dogs If Owners Don't Pay Tax

[irishspirit]

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.

This is another example of the NWO to see how far they can push us. In Switzerland they threaten to shoot your family pet. In the USA they have thugs feeling up your kids while you try to board a plane to Disney. In England your questioned every time you pull out a camera. They will keep pushing until we push back or at least stand our ground and declare our rights to be untouchable. Life , as they see it , is a test. You pass or fail depending on how much crap you're willing to eat. Question Authority, that's what its there for.

Grr... that stuff makes me angry.


As does hearing with the floods up north that when they evac people they force them to leave pets behind.

I would more than likey attempt to beat the living $!$%# out of someone if they told me they were here to rescue me, but my cat had to stay and die.




Besides... in this day and age....


I'd prefer to have all my friends as animals than as people. As theres no chance that the animal is trying to use you for money, or an advantage. They're there for the friendship. (tho sometimes i swear my cat only loves me for the food i give him :pound: )

Money over life --- AGAIN

I suppose they send the former owners a bill for the euthanasia.

280 * $50 = $14,000

Really worth the bad PR?

all the poor animals used as pets by humans -- once they were all wild & free until they were bred down by humans -- i don't want to think about what i know happens to pets during times of war & famine -- i do like to think about one thing i know -- when an animal dies/leaves her/his body -- they go to the dimension where the innocent go [not too many humans there]
