As much as I would love to save every animal, I think that $14M could be put to much better use saving people, or putting a few extra dollars in the pockets of underpaid low-level government workers, or school funding. I honestly don't think that most of the animals that aren't picked up after 3 days would be picked up before 6.
I think that microchips should be mandatory; my cat has gotten a foot stuck in his collar and probably limped around on three legs for hours before we saw him and helped him out, so a collar with tags isn't a good idea for him, especially because of his fondness of the woods and tree-climbing (even with breakaway collars, I'm worried I'd find him hanging from a branch.)
