Having first-hand experience with some pet Nazis from a rescue shelter, I would be strongly opposed to this proposal without some serious safeguards. Our interaction with these lunatics was so bizarre that it seemed like a Monty Python skit. Fortunately, their vet told them that there was nothing wrong with the dog except she was very old.

Despite a complete lack of evidence, these fanatics were still self-righteously convinced that we were abusing the dog and had this list been available, I'm certain they would have tried to get us listed on this registry.

It is exactly these type of people who will ultimately get control of that registry.

I think you nailed the important point; serious safeguards would have to be in place to prevent pet Nazis from letting a little power over someone in your family go to their heads.

I’ve seen many nurses and doctors do similar things. They think one thing and reality is quite another.

Yes; I agree with you. We still need to identify and document these animal abusers then get them tested.

This is getting a very different reaction from what I expected here which makes me really wonder why. Are animal abusers common; far more common than I could have ever imagined?
