There used to be a dog licence in the UK.
Should be a parenting licence. There are so many nasty yobs, violent criminal or semi-criminal types and plain awful people having kids, often just to get more benefit money that the UK's population is getting worse and worse. The benefits system effectively pays people to breed. People with criminal records toward people or property, and violent tendencies should be banned from breeding. or at least fined, but no, off they go having multiple kids who learn their parents violent and nasty ways and multiply the problem. And all the time extra child benefit money is thrown the way of the irresponsible parents encouraging them to create these problem offspring.
Survival of the least fit.
