Why is it so much more for an un-spayed or un-neutered dog?

The licensing fees are based on your dog's ability to breed.  By not spaying or neutering your pet, you incur a larger portion of responsibility for pet overpopulation, and the need to maintain an animal shelter.  A dog's instinct to breed often overcomes the pet owner's ability to prevent it.
