Absolutely. I think if you can afford a dog, there can't be an excuse about affording a licence. I'd be more than happy to have compulsary chipping for all domestic animals - or at least those over a certain size, as I don't think the rats would appreciate it.

it just makes sense. Anything that might make people think twice about the responsibilities of owning an animal.

Absaolutely with you on the registration of breeders too.
