There are only 2,222 county-registered pet owners in a county of ~70,000 people?  I would guess the actual number of pet-owning households must be a least ten times that number. 

Sounds like the folks who actually complied with the rules and registered their pets are getting screwed. This guy Sheehan is at least getting one message across... if you volunteer info to the government, any government, you lose your privacy. 

The only info that's private is the info you never give out to anyone. I wonder how many people get fined for refusing (or not bothering) to register their pets each year? 

Apparently, part of the money collected goes to the Humane Society. Better to make a direct donation to the Humane Society (or better yet, an anonymous one) where your info will be better protected.
