Higher fees for registration causes more residents to ignore regulation

Rising fees are making people in Shanghai's suburbs less willing to register their dogs, posing a challenge to the city's target of managing the pets, a discussion by the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress found on Wednesday.

A regulation that took effect last May cut the cost for registering dogs in the city to about 200 yuan ($32). For someone from the suburbs, however, that is an increase from the 100 yuan they used to pay.
