Colorado Democrat Lawmaker Introduces Bill To Establish Tax On All ‘Pet Animals’
100percent fed up ^ | February 4,2024 | Danielle

The bill also requires a pet animal owner to designate a caregiver for the owner’s pet animal. The caregiver is responsible for the care and safekeeping of the pet animal during an emergency that incapacitates the pet animal owner.

First responders will use the system to identify the designated caregiver of the pet animal and notify the caregiver of the incapacitation of the pet animal’s owner. A caregiver must agree to be responsible for the pet animal. If a caregiver later refuses to take custody of the pet animal or cannot be located, a first responder will place the pet animal in an animal shelter. Only first responders and the department of public health and environment are allowed to use the system.

The bill specifies that to own a pet animal without registering the pet animal; to refuse or fail to comply with the provisions of the bill; to make a material misstatement in a registration application, a registration renewal application, or to the department of agriculture; or to refuse or fail to comply with any rules or regulations adopted by the commissioner is unlawful. An unlawful act is punishable by a civil penalty in an amount set by the commissioner but not to exceed $100 per unlawful act. If the commissioner is unable to collect the civil penalty, the commissioner may sue to recover the civil penalty or refuse to renew a registration.

The commies are so emboldened now that there’s nothing they won’t propose. Soon: Every fifth pregnancy must be aborted no matter what.

California liberals are the human equivalent of locusts. They destroy everything all around them.

So now they want to tax pets. I wonder what’s next. Maybe they’ll demand that my pet elephant get a driver’s license.

There are no limits to tyranny...

Especially when the indolent serfs continue to meekly bend over and spread their cheeks...

There is no end in sight...

Like Ronald Reagan said: “...a thousand years of darkest tyranny...”

They just made a bunch of lonely, unmarried, white women with 14 cats, very angry.

“Colorado Democrat Lawmaker Introduces Bill To Establish Tax On All ‘Pet Animals’”

I don’t think the founding fathers would have approved of this tax.

The pet population is getting bad though. Almost as many as the illegals population.
