What would we do with all the extra dogs?
1. No age, class or ethnicity - just capacity to sensibly care for and control -- licence can be withdrawn if this condition is breached--eg if the dog is allowed to roam unaccompanied, owner does not collect 'fouling', creation of noise nuisance in the neighbourhood etc.

2. The sceme would need to be phased in so that as dogs die the numbers in any allowed in any built up area are gradually reduced.

Now that we have the Channel Tunnel it provides a route for rabies which is endemic in the feral dogs on the continent. When rabies comes it will involve mass culling of domestic pets.
