SEATTLE - A King County letter that ended up in the mailboxes of thousands of pet owners is raising concerns over privacy.

The letter told pet owners to license their pets or face a $250 fine.

"It feels weird to me, it feels like they're kind of snooping around in a place where they shouldn't be," said dog owner Chris Lee.

Turns out for the last four years, King County has been using data companies to target specific taxpayers, or in this case pet owners. That means every time customers swipe those rewards cards, they're gathering data.

"This is kind of standard marketing practice or procedure that people use," said Cameron Satterfield, from King County Animal Services.

Evidence of buying pet supplies is only evidence of buying pet supplies. Same goes for ammo and accessories.

Agreed, but if it ever came to knocking on doors they're going to start with people on their lists first.

We know that the chances of mass confiscation will never happen because they know that would cause intermediate push back. They will slowly and incrementally just legislate our rights away because they know that the frog in the pot theory works.
