Plan to charge €1.50-a-night ‘tourist tax’ for dogs to help cover costs of cleaning up waste is criticised as ‘madness’
An Italian animal rights group has criticised plans in a northern province to charge a “tourist tax” for dogs as “pure madness”.
Authorities in Bolzano, in the mountainous Trentino-Alto Adige region, have proposed charging €1.50 a night for dogs visiting the province and €100 a year per dog for resident dog owners.
