Federa Tax Break for Pets Proposed

[IRescue452]

Bad idea. Real bad idea. How many people who are abusive or neglective or shouldn't even own pets are going to go out and get animals if this passes? How many people who have a dog who lives outside under a car and they throw it dollar tree food on the ground once or twice a week are going to get tax credit for this? As much as I could use the money, I think this would do much more bad than good.

Good thought in some ways, but I doubt that it will ever happen. The only thing I think would stand a chance, would be for service animals, if there isn't already some type of exemption for them. I honestly don't know if there is or not, but there really should be IMO.

Yes I understand your point.. However that just hurts us good people that do spend lots of money on our pets.. I wish there was a happy medium..
