TORONTO, Ont. – The city said 90 per cent of cats and 70 per cent of dogs aren’t licensed in Toronto, so it may get out of the pet licensing business.
The program only brings in about $400,000, which is not enough to cover the costs of increased enforcement.
City staff said if the goal is to help owners find lost pets the focus should shift to encouraging them to tag or microchip their dogs and cats.
