I agree, it depends on the person and how much money they have and if they can properly care for them all. At my mom's I would not want more then two dogs, unless we lived in the country. But we don't so 2 dogs is enough. At my dad's we've got about 200 animals, and we have the money and time to properly care for them. My dad feeds them in the morning, goes to work, comes home and feeds them. Then he works with Dreamer, plays with the buns, and works on building our pheasant house. It all takes alot of time and money, but as long as you have that, I think you can have as many pets as you can care for.
