Question : would you pay $2 extra a year on your income tax to support a kill free animal shelter?
i wrote to the president about this ideal of course he most likely wont read it. its just i think this senseless killing needs to stop. and maybe give vets a tax break for every animal they spade or neuter for free ( for low income familys only) what are your ideals?http://unitedfaithministries.com/guardians.aspx

Answer #12
Kind of seems impracticalSeems like a whole lot ofpaper work and would take whole lot of arguing inCongress. Nothing against not killing pets, justnot the most pressing issue we're dealing withthese days

Answer #13
It could sure be an option on our tax forms..greatidea! I'm betting some congressman or senatorcould get himself re-elected on introducing thatbill...that is who to talk to, your senators.

Answer #14
it seems obvious from the previous response to thequestion that a tax would simply be unessacary. so no, I would most deffinately not support a tax,though it seems that there is more than enoughsupport for the issue to lead to solutions in theprivate sector, instead of creating moregovernment programs and taxes.

Answer #15
$2 a yr is quite little, so there shouldnt aproblem to most. Anyway, I find that it is moreimportant to educate people regarding neuteringtheir pets and being responsible adults. I meanprevention is better than cure.

Answer #16
no... this country is absolutely full of untakencare of domestic animals mainly dogs and i wouldpay about 1000$ a year to have a license to goaround and shoot them at will. ... any dog not ina fenced in yard and running around a neibourhoodneeds to be put out of its misery. domesticanimals do not concern me in the least and i cantbelieve they waste as much money on them as theydo. wild natural animals are another story ... iwould pay a few dollars a year to keep up thehabitats and protect wild animals.

Answer #18
Yes and Yes. I wouldn't mind seeing it as a scalein that if you clear a certain amount it is onenumber while if you clear another amount it isanother number. So if you can afford it and youwant to give more than 2 dollars you can. The samecan be true for many other charity's...I wouldrather have my money go to them than to thegovernment.Charities run themselves on a very leanlatter, unlike the government, what if thegovernment had to compete with the charities fortheir monies also?

Answer #23
I like your ideal, I would pay to extra dollare ayear. They need to lower the cost of spaying andneutring. I think many more would doit if it wasntso costly.My mom has a cat she wants to spay butshe cant afford it so the cat keeps havingkittens. oyr vets need to stop worrying so muchabout their pocket books and remember why theybeacame vets inthe first place!

Answer #29
Taxes? Definitely NOT! Government-run programsare often the worst, most wasteful way to doanything. Tax breaks for vets are a good idea,but many already do low-cost spay & neuter throughprograms likePAWS.
http://www.paws.org/cas/spaydaylist.phpPeopleshould be free to donate their own money to theplaces that do the most good, like the ASPCA ortheir local shelters (not PETA!!)Education aboutpets should be mandatory in elementary schools.Why don't you volunteer to teach a seminar forlocal kids about how to properly care for andtrain a dog, and explain why they shouldn't bebred. That is the place to STOP the problems -not by having more no-kill shelters, which oftenbecome like zoos for unwanted dogs.
