I think/imposing a tax on owners/is necessary.//
The tax prevents them/from owning too many dogs.//
The other day,/the TV news reported on a person/who kept over 100 dogs.//
The living environment of the dogs/was terrible.//
The neighbors said on TV/that they were annoyed with the smell and noise.//
If there had been a dog tax,/the person might have hesitated/to own so many dogs.//
In general,/when owners have a limited number of dogs,/they can take better care of them.//
As a result,/the dogs’ quality of life/will be improved.//

I see your point,/but I want to emphasize/that the tax is unfair.//
Dog owners may wonder/why taxation applies only to dogs,/not to all kinds of pets.//
I believe/that paying only a consumption tax/is fair.//
All pet owners pay a consumption tax/when they buy a pet itself, pet food, and pet insurance,/to name a few.//
That’s enough.//
A dog tax isn’t necessary.//

Well,/thanks for thinking critically/about a dog tax.//
Your discussion gave me a lot of new perspectives.//
In particular,/I like the idea/of improving the dogs’ quality of life.//
I’d like to hear more opinions.//
So/let’s continue our discussion.//
