Test should be required to own dogs and cats and people shouldn’t be able to own more than three pets max. The same way you need to pass a drivers test in order to operate vehicles and more advanced drivers test for more advanced and complicated vehicle, that needs to apply to pet ownership as well.
Most people can’t handle owning pets, they are incapable or don’t have the resources to do so. This isn’t even including the neglectful and abusive pet owners who don’t maintain the hygiene of the pet or property the pet is in.
There is nothing more totalitarian in existence than government regulating people’s reproduction. It’s for people who see abortion bans and think: this is great, but how can we extend the same principals and logic to men?

Ususally, totalitarian regimes wont only punish parents for violation of the policy, but also the children. I was the second child born in Mainland China during the one child policy, and they denied legal documents and essentially tried to denied my existence for as long as possible (practically treating me like a “bastard child”, as if I were born out of wedlock or something). They demanded my parents to pay a massive amount of money (aka: a “fine”) so I could have a legal identity. My mother also got forcibly sterilized after that.

Without legal documents, you basically are like an illegal immigrant in your own country.
Its horrible. Both Forced Birth and Forced Abortion policies are two sides of the same coin, government overreach where there shouldn’t be.
Yeah, I guess it’s one of those things like communism. Great on paper but humans can’t be trusted to admin it.
Not even the death penalty?
