I think there should be a law that required a license to own a pet. Too many people get a pet on a whim and after the first two weeks the novelty wears off and the animal is practically ignored for the rest of its life or until it gets taken to the animal shelter.
The process of getting a pet owner license would require some kind of education and a waiting period to make sure people are really ready and wanting a pet. Special licenses could be issued for breeders, all other pet owners would have to get their pet fixed.
