I've taken a walk around the city to see what they're *NOT* doing with it. I regularly donate to the Humane Society and the SPCA, please don't dare try to lecture me on the City picking $16 from my pocket and misspending it.

If they really wanted to do something about the problem, come down harder on the dog fighting industry. It's pretty much a joke unless you're an NFL quarterback, then everyone wants blood and marrow.

I want to see my tax dollars on the street and taking down the source of the problem, not dealing with the end result. It's like buying sponges after a flood, instead of having a proper levy instead.

Tell you what, if the city used the $16 as a reward pool for tips that take down dog fighting rings, I'll donate a hundred every time.

Philadelphia is doing something about the dog fighting: going into schools and educating Children and also the Philadelphia Anti-Dog Fighting Campaign.

Also, just because your dog has never been lost does not mean it will never happen…losing a dog can happen to anyone. The chances of you getting your dog back if lost are higher if you license your dog than if you don't.

Also, donate to local shelters, NOT the Humane Society of United States.

Also, the source of the overpopulation of dogs in shelters is NOT just because of dog fighting....Many people get dogs and then decide that they cannot care for them anymore, they move, or have children and decide they don’t want the pet anymore and bring them to the local shelter. Also, a HUGE problem is back yard breeding and people NOT spaying and neutering their pets.
