Pets are dependants

I believe that we should be able to include our pets as dependents on our taxes. Like children they depend on their owner for food, water, and shelter. By law owner's are required to have their pets up to date with shots and registration. When they get sick or are hurt they must go see the vet, yet unlike children they never leave home. Then when it comes time for them to move on it can be at a great expense to the owner not just emotionally but financially as well. Allowing this tax break has benefits not only for the tax payer but the economy as well.

Dear country men I adress you today I believe that the care we are requied to take and willing accept as owner's has been under evaluated. There are many people who live in america with the tax law's version of a depeant but because their dependants are animals they are over looked. Its true people do choose to have animals but the same can be said about children. We take on these repsonsiblites as adults and feel we shouldn't have to bear the burden of making sure we're follow the law without having some benefit. I belive if this can be done we could possibly see a probably temoaray growth in the econmony. When poeple have more money they spend more money and that heps to grow local business and better enable law enofrces to crack down on those who do not care for their animals as they should. In conculsion you should know that many poeple care for their pets as if they were children and love them just the same so why should take take on all the finacial pain.


Thank You for your time,
