The NRA? Are you a talking horse or a horses you-know-what? This is a legitimate topic for discussion. Lots of people aren't aware that most towns have limits...not until they run smack into trouble because they have one pet too many. Or after their pet has been confiscated and euthanized. And yes, most of us would agree with her, but letting people know that these things exist may move people to work for change in their own communities. Mr. Ed - just whose troll are you? The NRA?

This is an editorial that's appropriate for other forums. Limits are widespread (my city's is 5 animals, 3 dogs max), and most of the readers here probably agree with you already. So boil it down to: "I'm only allowed two cats and two dogs. I don't think that's fair, and I'm trying to change it. And by the way, I have a bias against guns." Let us know if you have any success.

I say "Let the Ark be FULL of animals" as long as all are well taken care of and not allowed to roam or breed.

A friend of mine has 6 six cats (down from 8) in a small town house. They are all kept indoors, and the place is immaculate. Because the cats each have their own little territories, you would never think there was more than 2-3 cats in the place. Technically, she is breaking the subdivisions' bylaws but since these were all former strays dumped near the property, I think she's doing her neighbors a favor. she's never had anyone complain, but she does worry that some busybody could make her life difficult.

Many farmers rely on cats to keep their mice population down and they also feed them to keep them close to the farm. A person in an appartment should not have so many cats. I still do not like the idea of the state telling me what I can have on my own property. I realize too many animals can become a problem but as long as a person does not disturb their neighbors and they care for their pets well then I feel it is no ones business but their own. I just feel that they take away more and more of a persons rights of personal freedom on their own land. It is just like in our town a person cannot put up a personal fence without the cities okay. They say the reason is that the police may not be able to see in your yard. If I want to take the risk of them not seeing in my yard that should be up to me and I should not be told what I can do on my own property like that and that is the same with pets. If I care for them and feed them, pick up their crap in my yard, and they do not disturb my neighbors then it should be up to me what I have on my personal property. They just keep giving us more laws and taking away our personal rights. I agree with you tj that is ludicrous.

We've met the limit but still continue to foster. What gets me is animal control doesn't differentiate between the apartment dweller or the family with 10 acres of land and a giant house! We had a farmer out here a while back who had about 11 cats. Some were barn mousers and others house-cats but his family was accused of hoardnig and the cats were seized and euthanized. Ludicrous.

I suppose you know that a pesky working brain like yours will prevent you from having a successful career in politics. ;) Candace, Very good article with a well-reasoned point of view.
