GENEVA, Switzerland A Swiss village has found a drastic way to compel dog holders to pay their pets annual tax: cough up, or the dog gets it.
Reconvilier population 2,245 humans, 280 dogs plans to put fido on notice if its owner doesnt pay the annual $50 tax.
Local official Pierre-Alain Nemitz says the move is part of an effort to reclaim hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes.
He says a law from 1904 allows the village to kill dogs if its owner does not pay the canine charge.
Nemitz told the AP on Monday that authorities have received death threats since news of the plan got out.
