[MR] state laws and dog certs

[Becky McEllistrem]

It seems that most states have decided the dog issue
is not just a personal responsibility issue but a
state law issue.  In that case knowing what the
existing state laws are and enforcing them at events
would be a sensible solution.  Does anyone have a
collection of the different state laws in reference to
dog biting etc.?  I would think that would be a great
tool for autocrats.  

How much are rabies’ certificates?  If you are polite
and really don’t have the money I would be willing to
help out.  I’m capable of putting my money where my
mouth is.  It seems if there is an incident it would
be scarier and even more expensive not to have one on
hand but I understand the difficulty of choosing what
to do with one’s limited finances – especially after
having been laid off twice.

When I suggested a sign-in as a way to find the owner
I suspected that the “no brainer” part of the comment
was that in some cases the owner is clearly not at the
end of the leash.  In some cases the other end of the
leash is tied to a tree or some other non human
object.

Obviously I confused several people.
