Switzerland goes to the dogs

I guess stupid people who cannot pass the tests or poor people who cannot take the courses will not be able to have pets in rule-loving (Fascist) Switzerland. Here is a perfect example of what happens in a nation of control freaks. Will they also pass a law that will make them pass a course to keep their children? You can bet on it. Britain will be next.

Rule-loving Swiss force pet owners to take animal understanding courses | the Daily Mail

All dog owners in Switzerland will have to take courses and pass tests if they want to keep their pets under the the rule-loving Swiss government announced today.

An examination on how to properly look after the dog will be introduced in September, along with a practical test to demonstrate control over the animal.

Initially, owners will have two years to follow courses but by 2010 it will be necessary to pass the theory exam in order to keep any kind of dog, whether it is a Chihuahua or an Irish wolfhound.
