Reconvilier – population 2,245 humans, 280 dogs – plans to put Fido on
notice if its owner doesn't 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.
