GENEVA — A Swiss village has found a drastic way to compel dog owners to pay their pet’s annual tax: cough up, or the dog goes down.
Reconvilier — population 2,245 humans, 280 dogs — plans to put fido on notice for execution if its owner doesn’t pay the annual $50 tax.
Local officials said the move is part of an effort to reclaim hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes.
