I don't think anyone is saying licences for all dogs.
I am but not because dogs bite people. I'd like to be able to send a sample of dog shit from the pavement to a lab where the DNA of the producing dog is identified, traced and the dog confiscated from the owner for 1 week on first offence, 2 weeks on second, 4 weeks on third etc.

I presume you are part of the team working on behalf of Richie Sunak's wife to set up the national estate of dog pounds required for your proposal?

Sounds ideal, so I let my dog shit on the pavement before I go away on holiday?

Already a thing in the states, with a nice chunk of VC funding:

Why not send the lot and ask them to forward to the registered keeper?

I don't think anyone is saying licences for all dogs. The suggestion is that where someone owns a dog which is so powerful that a large strong human would struggle to control it, then there should be a control mechanism for ownership.
In the same way that not everyone can own a shotgun. Also don't most responsible dog owners have chipped dogs now?
As for muzzles, I'm never sure what the issue is with that.
I do think some of the comments about leashes in any open space are a bit much.
