Pedagogical Description
1. Discussion about how the License Number is a unique identifier, not a numerical value that can be measured. 2. There is a major drop in active licenses the further back in time you go (presumably the pets died or moved away), so can have discussion about being clear about language (active licenses issued vs all licenses ever issued). 3. Potentially narrowing down to zip code of where someone lives if you know they're in the Seattle area and know their pet's name -- conversation about privacy, being identified in data, etc.
