I think we can honestly say that it's money, pure and simple. Another source
of funds, another vein to bleed in the insatiable need for more money. I
agree with phaedrus...... there is no need for an indoor pet to get a
license. There is no material need to the city if my cats are licensed.
(There is a material >>want<<, but not a material need.) Our three cats
are/were never licensed and never will be. It's nobody's business but mine.
