What to do with dog thieves?

A Dallas man who had two precious husky dogs stolen will ask city council members this week to beef up the city's animal laws. Brad Kirby wants the city to pass a law that would require good samaritans who pick up strays or lost pets to check for a microchip. Kirby hopes to will alleviate some of the dog theft in the city.

But, some fear it may do just the opposite and make good-hearted people turn away from helping strays. Thieves, they say, won't be bothered by a fine. What do you think? Share an opinion.
