I love and care for my animals. I buy them everything they need when they need it, they are all up to date and never miss a vet appointment. I pay tax on my car property and house and now I have to pay taxes on my pets, that's like paying taxes on me or my plants that I grow. Pets are family not objects.
This is crazy! We got both our dogs from the animal shelter! And paid for them! We shouldn't have to pay taxes to own a dog!!! Crazy! Oconee County is my home town but they (councilman) are getting too big of a head! Lower your pay a little and put that $ to pay the taxes!!!
Greed. My dogs do not require ANYTHING from Oconee County. Most people's do not. I do not support this in any form, unless the county is planning to offer something to justify this tax. And nothing short of free rabies and annual shots to all dog owners would meet that requirement for me.
This is not right. People are taxed to death now. So now they gonna be chastised because the have a pet. Older people who are alone and only have their pet for a companion will suffer because most barely can feed their dog or cat.
This is a crock of crap. Why should I pay a pet tax. I care for all my animals and I dont let them breed and bother the neighbors. Crack down on irresponsible pet owners. Im tired of paying extra on everything because others choose to be lazy or irresponsible. We need some change in county administrators.
That is a crazy thing.Dogs help people: medical problems,companionship,security, save alot of thief. Why not tax more on alcohol there's more deaths from that than dogs.
This is absurd!

Im so afraid that if this is passed, it will make it to where many pet owners can't afford their pets so a lot of pets will end up abandoned or in shelters. There are so many responsible pet owners that this will be hurting.
