Are they not? Dog licenses require rabies shots, and vets require checkups for shots at least around here.

Registration and shots are mandatory everywhere I’ve lived too. Sounds mandated to me.

I’ve always assumed it has nothing to do with me or my dog, but is to protect others from my dog.

Laws about registration and shots vary a lot in the US from one state or municipality to the next.
